Purpose: Background: Analysis: Date: June 3, 2026 To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council From: Jaspreet Kaur, Community Development Subject: City Council Adoption of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update Summary: Recommendation: 1) Conduct a Public Hearing; and 2) Adopt a resolution to determine the Housing Element is categorically exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15061(b)(3), Common Sense Exemption, amend the City's General Plan by adopting the 2021-2029 City of Live Oak Housing Element, and directing staff to submit the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element to the Department of Housing and Community Development for certification. Fiscal Impact: No fiscal impact. Adoption of the 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element Update. State Housing Element law (Government Code Section 65583) requires each local government entity to adopt a comprehensive long-term general plan for the physical development of their city or county. The housing element is one of the mandated elements composing the general plan. State law, through the housing element, addresses the existing and projected housing needs within all economic segments of the state's various communities, including the City of Live Oak. The legal mandate recognizes that in order for the private sector to adequately address housing needs, local governments must adopt land use plans and other planning programs to create opportunities that do not constrain development of affordable housing. Housing policy in the state is dependent on the effective development and implementation of local general plans and particularly housing elements. The City of Live Oak 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element establishes goals, policies and programs intended to address the housing needs of current and future residents. The Draft CITY OF LIVE OAK STAFF REPORT Agenda Item 2. 8

Housing Element follows the format of the current Housing Element and includes the following sections: 1. Introduction - Provides an overview of the Housing Element and summarizes the community engagement efforts that informed its development. 2. Community Profile - Examines demographic, economic, and housing conditions, including trends and the needs of identified special-needs populations. 3. Housing Constraints - Evaluates existing and potential governmental and nongovernmental barriers to housing production and includes an assessment of fair housing issues. 4. Housing Resources - Identifies available housing sites and evaluates whether the community has adequate capacity to meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation. 5. Review of Previous Housing Element - Assesses progress made in implementing the policies and programs from the prior Housing Element cycle. 6. Goals, Policies, and Programs - Establishes targeted goals along with policies and programs designed to address the community's identified housing needs The 2021-2029 Housing Element was presented to City Council and submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on August 16, 2021 to initiate the review process. The following summarizes the timeline with HCD.

The majority of the textural changes include identifying adequate sites to accommodate the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and amending the Housing Element to ensure the City is affirmatively furthering fair housing and incorporating local data and knowledge. Programs and goals have been revised to comply with State law and address requirements to affirmatively further fair housing. During the regular Planning Commission meeting on May 19, 2026, the Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval to City Council of the 2021-2029 Housing Element update for adoption. Environmental Determination: Environmental impacts of the Housing Element were previously analyzed by the City (Mitigated Negative Declaration that was adopted by City Council on September 8, 2021) and no additional environmental review is determined necessary. Therefore, City staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA Agenda Item 2. 9
