Page 1 of 5 BUSINESS OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT For the Meeting of: December 20, 2022 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council VIA: Mathew Chidester, City Manager FROM: Jill Ekas, Community Development Director Scott Phillips, Senior Planner TITLE: 2023 RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNIT ALLOCATION PURSUANT TO HALF MOON BAY MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 17.06 (MEASURE D) RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution setting the 2023 Residential Dwelling Unit Allocation and Administration System pursuant to Half Moon Bay Municipal Code Chapter 17.06 for 67 residential dwelling units, 45 units for the Downtown (23 base units, and 22 bonus units) and 22 units outside of the Downtown. FISCAL IMPACT: There is limited fiscal impact associated with setting the annual residential dwelling unit allocations as the Measure D allocation application fees cover some of the costs of administering the program. A fiscal impact analysis is also required as part of this process, which is described further in this report. It concludes that the development associated with these allocations will also have a limited fiscal impact. STRATEGIC ELEMENT: This action supports all Elements of the Strategic Plan (Infrastructure and Environment, Healthy Communities and Public Safety, Fiscal Sustainability, and Inclusive Governance). BACKGROUND: In 1991, Measure A was adopted by City voters establishing a 3 percent annual growth limit. In 1999, Measure D amended the Residential Growth Limitation Ordinance reducing the allowable percentage increase of residential population from 3 percent to 1 percent, with an additional 0.5 percent allowed at the discretion of City Council for residential development in the “Downtown Area.” On December 1, 2010, the City Council adopted an ordinance amending Chapter 17.06 of the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code entitled “Residential Dwelling Unit Allocation System.” Measure D mandates that “the City shall allocate permissible dwelling units among applications on the basis of the existing allocation system or a subsequently modified 17

system.” Measure D allocations are reviewed and authorized annually by the City Council per the Municipal Code. This report provides an update on the annual Measure D allocations and recommends 67 total allowable residential unit allocations for 2023. DISCUSSION: Chapter 17.06 of the Municipal Code establishes the methodology for determining the annual maximum number of residential dwelling unit allocations, or “Measure D Certificates.” The ordinance specifies that the most recent U.S. Census data must be used for determining the average number of persons per household. The 2020 U.S. Census provides the most recent Census data for a baseline to add the additional population to annually. Table 1 presents the methodology and calculations for determining the annual allocation from the 2020 Census baseline. Table 1 – Allocation Calculations Year Base Population1 New Units 2 Persons Per House- hold Calculated Additional Population 3 New Projected Population1 Base Allocation 4 Allocation Distribution Total Annual AllocationDowntown 5 Outside Downtown 2021 11,795 35 2.58 90 11,885 46 46 23 69 2022 11,885 23 2.67 61 11,946 45 45 22 67 1 2020 U.S. Census Population was utilized for the 2021 baseline from which the calculated additional population is added to each year. 2 Number of new units that were issued building permits during the prior calendar year. 3 Most current US Census PPH data (2.67) multiplied by the number of new units that were issued building permits during the calendar yea 4 1% of New Projected Population divided by average PPH. 5 Includes an additional 0.5% in the downtown area per Section 17.06.020(B). The “new projected population” estimate is used to calculate the total number of units within the City at year-end. The equation for establishing the “new projected population” involves multiplying the number of new units issued building permits during the calendar year by the average PPH (2.67 from the 2021 Census data, used for the 2022 baseline), then adding the result to the projected population from the previous year. With the estimated population count and occupied households count from the 2021 Census data, an updated persons per household count was calculated at 2.67 as compared to 2.58 from last year’s allocation, which was based on 2020 Census data. The increase in persons per households 18

results in a modest decrease in the number of new dwelling units allowed for 2023 compared to the number of new dwelling units allowed in 2022. The base allocation of 1% is split evenly between Downtown and outside of the Downtown. As discussed earlier in “Background,” Measure D allows for a 0.5% increase in residential allocations for Downtown, which consists of the City’s former Redevelopment Area. As summarized in Table 2, this provides for a maximum of 67 new dwelling unit allocations for 2023, reserving 45 dwelling unit allocations for the Downtown Area, and 22 dwelling unit allocations outside Downtown. Table 2: Dwelling Unit Allocations – 2023 Total Allocations Downtown Allocations Outside Downtown Allocations 67 45 (1.0%) 22 (0.5%) Municipal Code Section 17.06.020 – “Establishment of number of residential dwelling unit allocations to be authorized annually” sets forth the procedures for establishing the residential allocations. In particular, Section 17.06.020.G specifies that the City Council shall consider the following when establishing the number of Dwelling Unit Allocations in the upcoming year: 1. The number of residential dwelling units allocated in the current year; 2. The number of residential dwelling units allocated in the preceding year, but not necessarily issued building permits; 3. The number of future residential dwelling unit allocations awarded in accordance with a development phasing plan and agreement as provided for in Section 17.06.055; 4. The information and data contained in the annual fiscal impact analysis as provided for in Section 17.06.045 Fiscal Impact Analysis Required. The following discussion presents information pertinent to the above four considerations. Residential Dwelling Units Allocated in Current and Proceeding Year and Building Permits Issued: Table 3 presents the number of Measure D certificates and building permits issued each year from 2017 through 2021. Since amending the Measure D allocation system in 2010, new residential development from 2010 through 2013 was especially slow as the City recovered from the great recession. Starting in 2014, growth increased modestly, but remained low due to a lack of larger-scale developments other than phase one of Pacific Ridge. Recent years (2019 and on) have seen a distinct increase in applications for both Measure D allocations and building permits. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) account for much of this increase due to the series of State law amendments that further relaxed ADU development requirements and amplified local interest in ADU construction. In 2021 and 2022, all allocations were issued, including within and outside Downtown. Building permit issuance lags Measure D allocation. Some developments, such as the Hilltop Mobile Home Park proposal which received 32 allocations over a two-year period, take up a significant number of Measure D allocations, but are just starting the CDP review process. Others 19

move through quickly, such as ADUs for which the CDP process is expedited. Staff anticipates that building permit issuance will increase within the next few years reflecting the higher number of allocations issued in recent years. Table 3: Residential Building Permits Issued Year Available Allocations Measure D Allocations Issued Residential Building Permits Issued 2017 66 22 28 2018 66 25 16 2019 71 34 24 2020 69 48 26 2021 66 66 35 2022 69 69 23 Average 68 44 25 Development Phasing Plans and Unit Prioritization: The City has not received applications for development phasing plans for Measure D allocations for several years. Before applying for a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) for new residential development, an applicant is required to obtain one Measure D allocation for each unit (per Section 17.06.010.B – Applicability). Measure D certificates are valid for one year (per Section 17.06.050.A. - Timing of building permits issued pursuant to this chapter), but may be extended if other approvals such as a CDP are required (per Section 17.06.050.F). There is a more detailed comparative process for evaluating and ranking subdivisions (Section 17.06.215 – Evaluation procedures for subdivisions for residential development based upon design and amenity criteria and contribution to public facilities), but that process has not been triggered for phased development or subdivisions. In the case that there is an increase in residential development activity beyond available allocations, Sections 17.06.120 and 17.06.275 – “Review of Points awarded and residential units allocated” establishes the criteria to evaluate applications and distribute residential dwelling unit allocations. The Measure D Allocation System is structured to prioritize projects in January of each year to evaluate and prioritize applications based upon competitive rating criteria (Sections 17.06.120 and 17.06.275). A detailed staff report to the Planning Commission in March 2020 outlined this process and presented that certain aspects of the rating system, as codified in 2010, are no longer especially relevant. Staff prepared an interpretation document for Planning Commission concurrence that has guided rating when there are more applications received during the annual January application window than available allocations, as occurred in 2021 and 2022. Fiscal Impact Analysis: Section 17.06.045 requires the City to prepare an annual report identifying the effects of new residential development on City finances and the City’s ability to provide services to the residents. The fiscal impact analysis for 2023 was prepared by Applied Development Economics and the summary of the analysis is included as Attachment 2. The fiscal impact analysis indicates the new units and residents would generate approximately $35,752 per year in General Fund revenues and require about $45,246 in General Fund expenditures, for an annual estimated deficit of $9,494 in 2023. This is similar to the 2022 estimated deficit of $7,458. 20

Notably, the 2021 fiscal impact analysis indicated an estimated net surplus of $21,118. All of these amounts are close to breaking even for this type of fiscal impact analysis. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
