Local jurisdictions have until Jan. 31 of next year to finalize their so-called housing elements — detailed roadmaps for how to meet their dramatically increased state-mandated housing goals.
Bay Area cities are running out of time to devise plans for enough new homes to ease the region’s deepening housing crisis – and so far, state officials are sending most of their plans back to the drawing board.
The agency told San Francisco, Oakland, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Redwood City, Antioch and others to rewrite their drafts to provide proof the sites identified for future homes have a realistic chance of development, and to offer the possibility of rezoning certain neighborhoods for denser housing, among various other instructions.
“I don’t know if we’re going to meet the deadline,” said Mountain View Mayor Lucas Ramirez. “We’re going to do the best we can. It may very well be that HCD says this is a strong start, but you have to do even more.”
