CityCouncil | 2016-10-18 | 9 | (16-525) Recommendation to Direct Staff to Transmit the City of Alameda 2015 Housing Element Annual Report to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development. Approval of an annual report is not subject to the review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), nor is an annual report defined as a "project" under CEQA. No future review is required. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the report means that the City is agreeing to build any housing in the future, to which the Assistant Community Development Director responded in the negative; stated the report is telling the State what was built and what building permits were issued. Mayor Spencer stated there is a misunderstanding on what Council is being asked to approve. The Assistant Community Development Director stated under State law, the City has to ensure Council has seen the report. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired what a universal design ordinance is and when the ordinance would come back to Council. The Assistant Community Development Director responded subcommittees from the Planning Board and the Housing Authority will set standards for all new housing in Alameda to ensure that a percentage of the housing is designed in a way to either allow someone with a disability to visit or allow someone with a disability to live independently; stated staff anticipates the matter will come to Council in January. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft moved approval of directing staff to transmit the City of Alameda 2015 Housing Element Annual Report to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development. Vice Mayor Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
