Ordinance to Revise Local AB 2011 Implementing Ordinance December 17, 2024 Page 5 sites for residential development that meet certain environmental criteria; (2) the local government has permitted the alternative parcels not otherwise eligible for development pursuant to AB 2011 to be developed pursuant to AB 2011 streamlining, and that the alternative parcels are suitable for residential development as defined in State housing element law; (3) the local government has permitted the alternative parcels that are subject to AB 2011 streamlining to be developed at densities above the residential density required in subdivision (b) of Section 65912.123 (Mixed -Income) of the Government Code; (4) the alternative development would result in no net loss of the total potential residential density in the jurisdiction; (5) the alternative development would result in no net loss of the potential residential density of housing affordable to lower income households in the jurisdiction; and (6) the alternative development would affirmatively further fair housing. Staff has reviewed the adopted Mixed -Income exempt parcels list in the Ordinances and has identified sites to remove from the exempt parcels list and sites to include on the exempt parcels list, which would be eligible for streamlining pursuant to AB 2011 as amended by AB 2243 if not added to the exempt parcels list as proposed. In total, the revised exempt parcels listed in Attachment 2 to the ordinance equals to approximately 244 acres of land and can yield up to 15,481 units based on the AB 2011 prescribed density. In order to exempt these parcels, their lost development capacity must be accommodated elsewhere in the City and result in no net loss of the total residential capacities in the jurisdiction as prescribed by AB 2011. The alternative parcels, which are comprised of alternative and previously up -zoned sites, identified in Attachment 3 to the ordinance can yield a total surplus capacity of 16,712 units above the AB 2011 base density. Accordingly, the surplus capacity of 16,712 units allowed in the alternative parcels can accommodate the lost residential density of 15,481 units from the exempted parcels listed in Attachment 2, with a net surplus capacity buffer of 1,231 to spare. The analysis demonstrating that the alternative parcels comply with all environmental criteria, suitability for residential development as defined in State housing element law, no net loss calculations, no net loss of potential residential density of housing affordable to lower income households in the jurisdiction, and that the alternative parcels affirmatively further fair housing can be found in Attachment 3 of the ordinance.
