ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6.3
TO: Mayor and Town Council May 4, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 17-2021, receiving and accepting the Housing Element
Annual Progress Report for 2020
BACKGROUND
The State of California requires that all local governments adequately plan to meet local
housing needs through adoption of a General Plan Housing Element that includes policies,
programs, and quantified objectives to guide decisions related to the development of
housing. State law also mandates that each city prepare an Annual Progress Report (APR)
on the implementation of its Housing Element in a format prescribed by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The report is then used to
monitor the city’s progress toward accommodating its “fair share” assignment of the
region’s housing needs for specific affordability levels.
California Government Code Section 65400 requires that the local legislative body review
and accept the APR (Attachment B), which is then submitted to HCD and the Governor’s
Office of Planning and Research (OPR).
DISCUSSION
The Danville 2014-2022 Housing Element covers the eight-year period from January 2015 to
January 2023. The attached report covers the first six years of that period, reporting housing
activity from 2015 through 2020. The format prescribed for APRs by HCD, beginning with
the 2018 report, requires housing unit production be reported in three categories: (a)
potential housing units that have secured all requisite planning entitlements but have not
yet initiated the building permit process as of the end of the APR reporting year; (b)
potential housing units that have initiated the building permit process and were somewhere
between a building permit status of “Applied” to a status of “Under Construction,” but had
not secured a final building inspection release as of the end of the APR reporting year; and
(c) units that secured final building inspection release in the prior calendar year as of the
APR reporting year.
Income Categories
Danville’s assigned “fair share” of the region’s housing need is determined by the
Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). For the current planning period, the
assignment is 557 total units comprised of four affordability categories.
Housing Element Annual 2 May 4, 2021
Progress Report for 2020
Each category is defined by the state of California and expressed as a percent of the most
recently published area median income, as follows:
• Very low income (50% or below of area median income): 196 units
• Low income (51-80% of area median income): 111 units
• Moderate income (81-120% of area median income): 124 units
• Above moderate income (>120% of area median income): 126 units
Total Assigned Units - Danville: 557 units
The state of California has not yet released the State Income Limits for 2021, however, the
published area median income for 2020 applicable to Danville is outlined below and further
differentiated by household size:
1-Person
Household
2-Person
Household
3-Person
Household
4-Person
Household
5-Person
Household
Very low income $45,700 $52,200 $58,750 $65,250 $70,500
Low income $73,100 $83,550 $94,000 $104,400 $112,800
Median income $83,450 $95,350 $107,300 $119,200 $128,750
Moderate income $100,150 $114,450 $128,750 $143,050 $154,500
These income categories are based on the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development’s (HUD) income categories. These income levels reflect a 14.2% increase over
the published median income for 2019 which, in turn, reflected a 7.2% increase over the
published median income for 2018.
It is important to note that state law does not require cities to build housing. The
development of housing is driven by private market forces. The Town’s obligation is to
provide an appropriate amount of land, with the proper general plan land use designation
and the appropriate zoning designation, to accommodate the private development of
housing units for the assigned quantity and affordability levels.

Task Status
Table G: Danville 2019 APR – Summary of 2020 Work Efforts and 2021 Work Plan
1.1.1. By the end of 2016 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, alternatives
to density standards (e.g., floor area ratio standards, lot coverage standards
and/or other design standards) that would serve as a catalyst for the development
of small infill projects.
Action taken in 2017 (with overlap into early 2018): Through a Town-initiated
General Plan Amendment request, the Town adjusted the manner net acreage
is calculated for the Residential Single Family Low and for the Residential
Single Family Medium land use designations in the 2030 General Plan. The
change affects a small number of remaining infill project sites carrying these
land use designations. With the change, affected future projects may
calculate allowable project density retaining that portion of their site that
would need to be devoted vehicular rights-of-ways. This change is projected
to add 15%-25% to the development density that could be requested on the
affected properties, potential leading to an estimated 20-40 additional single
family residences between 2017 and 2030 - the horizon year established in the
Danville 2030 General Plan.
Update for 2020: The Town has development and implementation a “permit-
ready” ADU program and. The ADU program includes permit ready ADUs
of 650 square feet, 850 square feet and 1,000 square feet. The Town anticipates
the permit ready ADU program will result in a measurable increase in the
production of housing units in Danville appropriate for low- and moderate-
income households by simplifying the design, permitting and construction
need for ADUs and by reducing the costs associated with ADUs an
streamlining the approval process.
1.1.3. By the end of 2016 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, reduced side
and rear yard minimum setbacks for smaller multifamily properties to facilitate
their development.
Action taken in 2017 (with overlap into early 2018): Through a Town-initiated
General Plan Amendment request, the Town corrected an error that had been
made in the Land Use Map for the Danville 2010 General Plan and the
Danville 2030 General Plans, reverting 4.87 acres near the west side of
Downtown Danville to a Residential Multiple Family Low/Medium density
(13 to 20 units per acre) land use designation from the Residential Single
Family Low density (1 to 3 units per acre) land use designation imposed in
error. In conjunction with that action, through a Town-initiated Preliminary
Development Plan - Rezoning action, the Town rezoned the area to a P-1
Planned Unit Development zoning designation, eliminating the need for
future development projects proposed in the area to secure a legislative
action while also implementing design standards that would provide future
EXHIBIT 1
projects with flexibility in building setback standards where compared with
the standards set forth by previously applicable M-30 Multiple Family
Residential District standards.
Update for 2020: No additional work on Housing Implementation Measure
1.1.3. is anticipated to occur through the end of the current Housing Element
planning period. The impending delivery by Danville of three options for
permit ready ADUs (see discussion above), when coupled with the
anticipated effects of statewide changes dealing with ADUs going into effect
on January 1, 2020, will reasonably result to production of an additional 25 to
50 ADUs each year over historic production rates. This enhanced yield of
ADUs will result in the equivalent of adding one to two acres of multifamily
residential in Danville annually – and will result in development of units that
are more appropriate for low- and moderate-income households than could
be anticipated to be delivered by market rate housing projects on multifamily
designated property without significant financial subsidy.
1.2.2. On an ongoing basis, provide incentives, such as density bonuses and increases in
floor area ratios, when proposed mixed use development projects include a
housing component.
Action taken in 2017 (and overlapping into early 2018): Through its approval
of a 150-unit for-rent project on the 3.75 acres abutting the south side of
Diablo Road along the east side of the southbound onramp for I-680, the
Town culminated a several-year effort to facilitate the redevelopment of an
aging office project to a multifamily use. The project site was identified as a
RHNA shortfall site in the Danville 2030 General Plan and secured
Residential Multiple Family High Density (25 to 30 units per acre) land use
designation with the adoption of the 2030 General Plan. That action was
followed by a Town-initiated rezoning of the site, eliminating the need for a
future development project for the property to secure a legislative action
while also implementing design standards that would the future project with
flexibility in building setback standards where compared with the standards
set forth M District standards in the municipal code. As a for-rent project on
a RHNA shortfall site, the project was determined to be exempt from an
additional CEQA review beyond the program-level review secured through
the EIR prepared for the 2030 General Plan. As a project invoking a density
bonus, the project secured a 10% bump in otherwise allowable floor area ratio
as a project development concession. As a density bonus project, the baseline
yield for the site could increase from 113 units to 150 units - being a 35%
density bonus above the top end of the site’s 25-30 units per acre density
range. The target affordable units to occur on the site will be very low income
units with a minimum of thirty years of affordability to be assured from the
to-be-prepared affordable housing agreement that the Town will develop in
conjunction with processing building permits for the project.
Update for 2020: The project sponsor elected to reduce the overall unit count
for this density bonus project from 150 to 144 units – which reduced the
number of required very low income units to ten units. The term of
affordability under the recorded housing agreement was 55 years.
1.3.2. On an ongoing basis, continue to encourage second units in new construction as a
development option to meet the requirements of the Town’s Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance.
Action taken in 2017: The 22-unit single family Podva/Ponderosa Homes
project under construction in 2017 at the southwest edge of the Downtown
area pulled building permits in 2017 for two single family homes equipped
with attached second dwelling units (aka “Accessory Dwelling Units” or
“ADUs”). The ADUs were the provided in response to the Town’s
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requirements. As ADU’s that will be less
than 550 square feet in size, the ADUs will align with requirements that allow
them to be deemed appropriate for low income households.
Update for 2020: Significant changes that will affect the review process for
ADUs and will lead to an increase in the production of ADUs were put in
motion at the state level in 2019, culminating with the adoption of revised
statewide ADU legislation that went into effect on January 1, 2020. Danville
prepared and posted an update to its ADU Handout reflective of early
summaries of the new state regulations. In addition, the Town has adopted a
new ADU ordinance which complies, and in some area, exceeds the
requirements of the State law. Danville also implemented a permit-ready
ADU program to incentivize construction of ADUs. The program provides
Danville residents with three size options of pre-approved permit-ready
detached ADU building plans. These plans are available for free-of-charge
downloading. Because these ADU plans have been pre-plan checked, they
are eligible for expedited processing and lower building permit fees. Taken
together, the state changes for ADU standards (importantly leading to
Danville’s removal of owner-occupancy requirements and the ability for
properties to provide an ADUs and a JADU on one residential property) will
lead to a reduction in market rental rates of ADUs as the changes will result
in a measurable increase in the number of ADUs built in Danville. Other
jurisdictions that have created permit ready ADU programs (e.g., the City of
Encinitas) experienced a tripling of the annual output of ADUs after the
programs were introduced. A change in the relative scarcity of number of
ADUs that are available will make both existing and future ADUs more
affordable to low- and moderate-income households. Significantly, the
increase in the number of ADUs moving forward will have occurred at a time
where the “buying power” of low- and moderate-income households in the
area has substantially increased. The 2014 HCD-published income figures
indicated a two-person low income household had an income range that
would make rental housing affordable (i.e., <30% of gross household income)
where rents were in the range of $935 to $1,350 a month. The 2020 HCD-
published income figures indicate a two-person low income household now
has an income range that would make rental housing affordable (again
holding housing costs to <30% of gross household income) where rents were
in the range of $1,305 to $2,090 a month. At the high end of the ranges, this
is a $740 a month (55%) swing on the relative “buying power” of low income
households in the area. With these changes, Danville will recalibrate the size
of ADUs it will consider to be affordable by design for low- and moderate-
income households for the 2015-2022 planning period (see Attachment 1).
Danville will assume new ADUs delivered in the eight year period to be
affordable by design for one- or two-person low income households where
the ADU is <851 square feet in size. Additionally, Danville will assume new
ADUs delivered in the eight year period to be affordable by design for one-
or three-person moderate income households where the ADU is in a size
range of 851 square feet to 1,200 square feet.
1.3.3. By the end of 2016, initiate multi-jurisdictional discussions (using the Tri-Valley
Affordable Housing Committee or an equivalent forum) with a goal of presenting
a coordinated, multi-jurisdictional voice to pertinent utility agencies seeking
reduction of capital facility and/or connection fees assessed on new second units.
Action taken in 2017: Legislative action taken at the State level 2017 served to
restrict utility agencies from assessing capital facility fees for sewer or water
for new ADUs. That action fully addressed the issue identified in this
implementation policy. During 2017 the Town saw immediate “fruits” from
this action, which serves to significantly reduce the development costs
associated with construction of ADUs, by experiencing an uptick in requests
for ADUs.
Update for 2020: The primary focus of the Tri-Valley Affordable Housing
Committee during 2019 was tracking statewide housing legislation. Housing
legislation going into effect on January 1, 2020 further advanced changes
made at the state level in 2017 as regards restrictions on the amount of capital
facility fees that may be assessed on new ADUs.
1.3.4. By the end of 2015, update and make general distribution (posting on the Town’s
website) of the Town’s "How-to" brochure for development of second units, with
updates to include “value engineering” suggestions to assist potential applicants
as to ways to minimize development costs associated with construction
regulations, impact fees, and capital facility and/or connection fees.
Status: The “How-to” brochure was updated in July, 2017 to reflect changes
to the Town’s Second Dwelling Unit Ordinance (now referred to as the
Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance) made to address changes in state
legislation pertaining to accessory dwelling units (i.e., SB 1009, AB 2299, and
AB 2406).
Update for 2020: As mentioned above, Danville prepared and posted an
update to its ADU Handout reflective of early summaries of the new state
regulations .These handouts have been revised several times since the initial
round of changes and serve to advise residents of the permit-ready ADU
program changes that are underway. In addition, the Town approved a new
ADU ordinance consistent with State law requirements.
1.3.5. By the end of 2017 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, amendments
to the regulations set forth in the Town’s (Accessory Dwelling Unit) Ordinance
(amended in 2014) relative their effectiveness in meeting the intent of Policy 1.3
and the purpose of the Ordinance.
Status and action to be taken in 2018: The Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance
was last updated in July 2017 - with the changes bringing the regulations into
alignment with SB 1009, AB 2299, and AB 2406.Changes in State legislation
that went into effect January 1, 2018 will be reviewed to determine if further
revisions to the Town’s Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance need to be made
to assure the regulations remain consistent with the intent and requirements
of state housing law.
Update for 2020: Danville’s Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance was
rendered moot by the adoption of new statewide ADU legislation that went
into effect on January 1, 2020. The Town has adopted a new ADU which is
compliance, and in some area, exceeds the minimum requirements
established under the State laws.
1.3.7. With a minimum frequency of once every three years, survey (accessory dwelling
unit) rents to see which income groups they are serving.
Action to be taken in 2018: Reflecting HCD input and concurrence, the
Danville 2007-2014 Housing Element assumed accessory dwelling units
(ADUs) of up to 750 square feet in size could be assumed to be appropriate
for low income households and that second units between 751 and 1,000
square feet in size could be assumed to be appropriate for moderate income
households. Changes in market rate rent conditions leading into the start of
the 2014-2022 Planning Period prompted Danville, again with HCD input
and concurrence, to adjust the assumptions on affordability of ADUs. With
the adoption of the 2014-2022 Housing Element, Danville documented that
ADUs that were up to 550 square feet in size could be assumed to be
appropriate for low income households and that second units between 551
and 1,000 square feet in size could be assumed to be appropriate for moderate
income households. In recognition to ongoing upward pressure on rental
rates, the Town will review the assumptions put forward in the 2014-2022
Housing Element during 2018.
Update for 2020: In recognition of discussion above regarding the size of
ADUs that may be considered affordable by design to low- and moderate-
income households, Danville will review market rate rent conditions once the
permit-ready ADU program comes online.
1.5.1. Annually update the residential development site inventory of the housing
element (i.e., Tables 32, 33 and 34 and Figure A) to facilitate the dissemination of
the amount, type, location and size of vacant and underutilized land suitable for
residential development.
Status and action to be taken in 2018: An update was done in conjunction
with 2016 Contra Costa County Urban Limit Line (ULL) Review. A second
round of updates occurred in 2018 (i.e., updates to Tables 32, 33 and 34 and
Figure A of the Housing Element), leveraging off of efforts taken in 2017 to
respond to requests from the Contra Costa Transportation Authority to
review draft projections through 2040. An update will be made in 2019 to
reflect application planning entitlement approvals through 2018 and to
reflect changes, affecting a handful of sites, as to how allowable development
densities are calculated - specifically changes to allow properties with either
a Residential - Single Family - Low Density (1 to 3 units per acre) or
Residential - Single Family - Medium Density (3 to 5 units per acre) to include
area that will be required for public or private roadway purposes in their
density calculations. The updated information will be made available on the
Town’s website and at the Town Offices.
Update for 2020: Danville’s residential development site inventory in the
housing element (i.e., Tables 32, 33 and 34 and Figure A) were updated in
2019 to facilitate the dissemination of the amount, type, location and size of
vacant and underutilized land suitable for residential development.
1.7.1. On an ongoing basis, continue to work with pertinent individuals and groups (e.g.,
property owners and prospective multifamily developers) to maintain the
continued availability and development feasibility of the properties designated for
multifamily use as a result of the 2007-2014 RHNA shortfall analysis.
Action taken in 2017 (with overlap into early 2018): For background
discussion related to this implementation measure, refer to discussion for
Implementation Measure 1.2.2 above. During the later stages of 2017 and
through 2018 the Town actively worked with Trammell Crow Residential
(TCR) as they were transitioning into the role of project developer for the 3.75
acre Diablo Road RHNA shortfall site. The effort resulted in an issuance of a
determination of “substantial conformance” for project changes proposed by
TCR - with all changes having been deemed by the Town to be project
upgrades. Securing a “substantial conformance” determination allows the
project to progress with a smoother, and faster, transition from the 2017
entitlement approval to building permit submittal - avoiding project
uncertainty that could have occurred if another round of project public
hearings was determined to be required. As a result, TCR is working towards
a building permit issuance date by early 2019.
Update for 2020: Frequent discussion with potential residential builders
occurred in 2019 involving the EBRPD/Borel site (being two acres of
multifamily 20-25 dus/acre and five acres of multifamily 25-30 dus/acre as
well as being the last undeveloped RHNA shortfall sites created by the 2013
General Plan update effort). Additional discussions occurred in 2019
involving the Mixed Use Faz Restaurant property in the Downtown Core
area (would provided residential uses in a 20-25 dus/acre range) and the
West El Pintado multifamily 20-25 dus/acre site (which secured an
entitlement in late 2019, but are currently looking to have the project re-
approved with higher density based on State Density Bonus Law.). Other,
smaller mixed use and multifamily sites were also discussed over the course
of the year.
1.7.2. By the end of 2017 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, amendments
to the regulations contained in the Municipal Code that address non-conforming
uses to assure significant non-residential reuse of sites designated for multifamily
use does not occur without careful consideration through a land use permit review
as to whether the proposed reuse of the site would preclude conversion of the site
for residential use in the reasonable future.
Status and action to be taken: In advance of processing the Development Plan
request for the for-rent 144-unit density bonus project on the Danville Office
Partners property, the Town denied the property owner’s request for a land
use permit to expand and extend the life of the non-conforming office uses
that occupy the 3.75 acre site.
Update for 2020: As has been an ongoing policy directive for two-plus
decades, Danville continued to discourage the “loss” of multifamily sites to
the developed of licensed residential care facilities.
1.8.1. Consistent with Policies 1.03, 1.04, 1.05, and 3.08 of the Danville 2030 General Plan
initiate a zoning text amendment by the end of 2017 to create a zoning overlay
district for smaller, underutilized multifamily residential parcels to facilitate their
redevelopment with new, or denser, multifamily residential uses.
Action taken in 2017 (and early 2018): For background discussion related to
this implementation measure, refer to discussion for Implementation
Measure 1.1.3 above. The Town-initiated General Plan Amendment and P-1
Preliminary Development Plan requests serve as a de facto zoning overlay
district for the properties along the east side of El Dorado Ave. with
remaining development potential, eliminating the need for a subsequent
legislative action and implementing design guidelines that provide future
projects more flexibility in design than would have been available if the old
M District standards had remained in place.
Update for 2020: The Town has development and implementation a “permit-
ready” ADU program and. The ADU program includes permit ready ADUs
of 650 square feet, 850 square feet and 1,000 square feet. The Town anticipates
the permit ready ADU program will result in a measurable increase in the
production of housing units in Danville appropriate for low- and moderate-
income households by simplifying the design, permitting and construction
need for ADUs and by reducing the costs associated with ADUs an
streamlining the approval process.
1.8.2 By the end of 2017 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, amendments
the regulations set forth in the Density Bonus Ordinance relative the merits of
offering a tiered density bonus program based on lot size to encourage
consolidation of small lots for multifamily development.
Status and action to be taken in 2019: Danville’s Density Bonus Ordinance
was last updated in October 2014. Changes in state legislation pertaining to
density bonus regulations subsequent to that update create a need to again
review the ordinance for consistency with state housing law. Part of that
review should include the review additional changes suggested for
consideration in Policy 1.8.2. During 2019, the Town will assess whether
changes to the Density Bonus Ordinance are warranted or required in
response to the collection of housing laws that went into effect Statewide in
January 2018.
Update for 2020: The Town has development and implementation a “permit-
ready” ADU program and. The ADU program includes permit ready ADUs
of 650 square feet, 850 square feet and 1,000 square feet. The Town anticipates
the permit ready ADU program will result in a measurable increase in the
production of housing units in Danville appropriate for low- and moderate-
income households by simplifying the design, permitting and construction
need for ADUs and by reducing the costs associated with ADUs an
streamlining the approval process.
2.1.1. Utilize the applicable density bonus regulations to encourage the development of
affordable housing.
Action taken in 2017 (and early 2018): See above for discussion pertaining to
Implementation Measure 1.2.2 and the approval of a 150-unit for-rent project
along Diablo Road that invoked density bonus and will supply 11-12 for-rent
very low income units in the project. Late in 2017, the Town approved a 19
unit project within the Old Blackhawk Road Specific Plan area that will
provide two moderate income units after invoking density bonus.
Update for 2020: As density bonus approval was secured in 2019 by Trumark
on a 5.15 acre former garden nursery site to develop 18 detached single family
residences. The target units to qualify for the density bonus were eight 423
sq. ft. attached Junior ADUs. Market analysis supports considering the
ADUs as “affordable by design" for 1- to 2-person low income households.
The State's new January 1, 2020 ADU standards - coupled with Danville's
"permit ready" ADU program - will suppress "market values" of ADUs in this
size range over time, keeping them affordable.
2.2.1. Using the development review process, integrate new multifamily housing
developed in and around the Downtown area through linkages to shopping,
transit facilities, and civic uses – maximizing the walkability of the ultimate project
design.
Action taken in 2017: The Diablo Road project approval discussed above for
Implementation Measure 1.2.2 will lead to an installation of a critical
pedestrian linkage in the Downtown Area, with the project cost to be initially
split 50/50 between developer and the Town and with provision of possible
future reimbursement to the developer if abutting private properties
redeveloped.
Update for 2020: The Trammell Crow Residential project was under
construction throughout 2020 and the developer is taking the lead to assure
the construction of the pedestrian bridge over San Ramon Creek in a
partnership with the Town.
2.3.1. Continue to require new developments to provide the requisite minimum
percentage of low or moderate income housing in their project through imposition
of the regulations contained in the Town’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
Update for 2020: Projects greater than eight units in size continued to be
required to address Danville’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Related
actions have been the preparation of a new handout describing the process
that would need to be taken to allow temporary rental of ownership below
market rate units. That handout was last updated in October 2014. Two
significant residential projects secured approvals in 2019 that will lead to
development of units appropriate for low or moderate incomes households
as a result of the imposition of the Town’s inclusionary housing requirements
(i.e., the Magee Ranch/Davidon Homes project which would supply ADUs
appropriate for low income households and the West El Pintado project
which would supply for-sale moderate income condominiums).
2.3.2. By the end of 2017 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, amendments
to the regulations set forth in the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to assure they
continue to meet the intent of Policy 2.3 and of the stated purpose of the Ordinance.
Update for 2020: Danville’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance was last
updated in October 2014. Changes in state legislation pertaining to density
bonus regulations after that update potentially create a need to review the
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance as there are areas of overlap between the
regulations.
2.3.3. Monitor litigation responding to Palmer/Sixth Street Properties L.P. v. City of Los
Angeles ("Palmer"), the case considered recently California Court of Appeal that
limits the allowable scope of local inclusionary requirements, and review current
regulations in light of subsequent litigation to determine if further amendment to
Danville’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance is warranted.
Update for 2020: The successful passage of AB 1505, known as the “Palmer
Fix” bill, means that cities and counties in California once again have the full
power of inclusionary housing at their disposal.
2.4.1. By the end of 2017 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, amendments
to the home occupation regulations to assure they continue to meet the intent of
Policy 2.4 and of the stated purpose of the regulations.
Update for 2020: Danville’s home occupation regulations were last updated
in October 2014 (as part of the updates to the Ordinances regulating single
family and multifamily property). With the range of work items slated to
occur in 2020 and with short- to mid-term reductions in work force, work
associated with Implementation Policy will be pushed forward to 2021.
2.6.1. Explore opportunities for the Successor Housing Agency to leverage its remaining
assets towards provision of affordable housing units in the community.
Update for 2020: Town has continued to explore opportunities to utilize these
funds, including initiating discussions with the Town’s partner Bridge
Housing for the 74-unit senior rental project along Laurel Drive.
2.7.2. Monitor the affordability of units developed through the Town’s inclusionary
housing program to assure that rents paid and incomes of occupants are consistent
with applicable guidelines and/or recorded affordable housing agreements.
Update for 2020: Note is made of the conversion in early 2017 of the Rose
Garden and Podva/Sequoia Grove apartment projects from their affordable-
by-design status. Both projects were deemed affordable-by-design from
initial occupancy through early 2017. The Podva/Sequoia Grove project
“termed out” in early 2020. The affordable-by-design status was provided for
in the respective housing agreements and was allowed as long as all the units
in the projects were subject to a rental schedule making them affordable to
households earning median income (i.e., 100% of published median income
for the Alameda and Contra Costa County Area). With the change, 15% of
the units in the respective projects were required to be occupied by
households whose incomes have been reviewed by the Town to assure
incomes are at, or below, 110% of area median income. The BMR units in
both projects have been occupied by qualified moderate income households
since the end of 2017. Parallel to this effort is the ongoing oversight of the
Quail Ridge BMRs to assure full compliance with the requirements set forth
in that project’s affordable housing agreement to have seven of the thirteen
for-rent multifamily units occupied by income certified very low income
households. The project has been compliant since Fall of 2017 with five of
seven households in the BMR being Section 8 voucher recipients from the
County Housing Authority.
2.9.1. By the end of 2015, research the opportunities and merits of supporting shared
housing opportunities in Danville through Town-contribution to appropriate
County agencies and/or community-based organizations.
Update for 2020: With the range of work items slated to occur in 2020, work
associated with Implementation Policy will be pushed forward to 2021.
3.1.4. By the end of 2017 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, amendments
to existing land use controls, building codes, and permit and processing
procedures relative their potential to constrain development, maintenance, and
improvement of housing for persons with disabilities.
Update for 2020: With the range of work items slated to occur in 2020, work
associated with Implementation Policy 3.1.4. will be pushed forward to 2021.
3.1.5. By the end of 2017 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, amendments
to the Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance (adopted in 2014) relative its
effectiveness to provide relief to Code regulations and permitting procedures that
may have a discriminatory effect on housing for individuals with disabilities, with
the monitoring to include a review of the procedures for requesting
accommodation, the timeline for processing requests and appeals, and the criteria
used for determining whether a requested accommodation is reasonable.
Update for 2020: Changes in state legislation that went into effect in both
January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2020 will be reviewed to determine if
revisions to Danville’s regulations that might serve to constrain
development, maintenance, or improvement for persons with disabilities
need to be made to assure the regulations remain consistent with the intent
and requirements state housing law.
3.2.3. By the end of 2017 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, amendments
to the current regulations pertaining to emergency shelters (amended in 2014 by
way of approval of LEG 13-02) relative their effectiveness to meet the intent and
requirements of Policy 3.2 and the intent and requirements of SB 2 approved by
the state in 2007.
Update for 2020: Changes in state legislation that went into effect in both
January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2020 will be reviewed to determine if
revisions relative to Danville’s regulations pertaining to emergency shelters
need to be made to assure the regulations remain consistent with the intent
and requirements state housing law.
3.3.1. By the end of 2017 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, amendments
to the current regulations pertaining to supportive housing relative their
effectiveness to meet the intent of Policy 3.3 and the intent and requirements of SB
2 approved by the state in 2007.
Update for 2020: Changes in state legislation that went into effect in both
January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2020 will be reviewed to determine if
revisions relative to Danville’s regulations pertaining to supportive
housing need to be made to assure the regulations remain consistent with
the intent and requirements state housing law.
3.4.1. By the end of 2017 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, amendments
to the current regulations pertaining to transitional housing relative their
effectiveness to meet the intent of Policy 3.4 and the intent and requirements of SB
2 approved by the state in 2007.
Status and action to be taken in 2019: Amendments to Danville single family
and multifamily regulations pertaining to transitional housing (as required
by SB 2) occurred in October 2014.
Update for 2020: Changes in state legislation that went into effect in both
January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2020 will be reviewed to determine if
revisions relative to Danville’s regulations pertaining to transitional
housing need to be made to assure the regulations remain consistent with
the intent and requirements state housing law.
5.1.2. By the end of 2017 complete Phase 2 of the update to the zoning and land use
sections of the Municipal Code, including a review of opportunities to provide for
more housing on lands within the Downtown Business District.
Update for 2020: : The Town has development and implementation a “permit-
ready” ADU program and. The ADU program includes permit ready ADUs
of 650 square feet, 850 square feet and 1,000 square feet. The Town anticipates
the permit ready ADU program will result in a measurable increase in the
production of housing units in Danville appropriate for low- and moderate-
income households by simplifying the design, permitting and construction
need for ADUs and by reducing the costs associated with ADUs an
streamlining the approval process.
7.1.1. Continue to work with the sellers of the below market rate units established
through the inclusionary housing program to reset the twenty year resale
restriction upon sale of the units.
Update for 2020: Approximately eight for-sale below market rate units
(BMR) have had their term of affordability extended because of staff actions
with the sellers of the BMRs. The Town will continue to look for
opportunities to extend the term of affordability as additional units become
available through resale.
7.2.1. By the end of 2017 review, and approve where deemed appropriate, amendments
to the current Condominium Conversion Ordinance relative its effectiveness in
protecting existing affordable housing and relative to its conformity to state
legislation pertaining to the residential condominium conversion process.
Update for 2020: Changes in state legislation that went into effect in both
January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2020 will be reviewed to determine if
revisions relative to Danville’s regulations pertaining to condominium
conversions need to be made to assure the regulations remain consistent
with the intent and requirements state housing law.
