Encinitas
City Council
10E. Review and consideration of extending the expiration date for Housing
Certification Program (HCP) deed restricted covenants and extending the
Affordable Unit Policy (AUP) which are set to expire on June 16, 2026.
Environmental Considerations: The action being considered by the City
Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen
with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed activity will have a
significant effect on the environment. The previously approved AUP or HCP
units would be exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines, Section 15303 (a) - Class 3 - (New Construction or Conversion of
Small Structures) which exempts the construction of secondary (accessory)
dwelling units in a residential zone from environmental review. Contact
Person: Associate Planner Brenner
Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the City Council provide
direction on extending the AUP and HCP deed restricted covenants and if so,
the duration of such extension.
