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. 2026-06-10 Item 10E Affordable Unit Policy Housing Certification Program Expiration Extention 2026-06-10 Item 10E Affordable Unit Policy Housing Certification Program Expiration Extention - Staff Presentation
