RHNA Subregion

The Board will be discussing the proposal for the RHNA Subregion at the August meeting.
City Managers and members of SCCAPO received the draft resolution, MOU, & staff report template.

City/county action items for RHNA Formation:

  • Please have your attorney review and submit edits, suggestions by July 24 to andi@citiesassociation.org
  • Agendize the RHNA Subregion discussion.  Deadline for resolution adoption is mid October 2019.

What you need to know about the RHNA Subregion: 

  • Subregion will accept methodology from ABAG/MTC. That’s right – – put away those fancy calculators and spreadsheets.  Our research indicates that subregions have tried to create their own methodology and the result isn’t much different from ABAG’s numbers.
  • A technical committee (staff) and a policy committee (electeds) will complete the work of the Subregion.
  • Each jurisdiction holds control over their numbers – Ie, no trade may be forced upon a jurisdiction. The small cities can’t gang up on San José and San José can’t gang up on the small cities.  Whew!!
  • This is meant to be a collaborative effort to allow cities and the county to work together and collaborate around housing.
  • The MOU contains an escape clause … so not to worry, you can hit the eject button and just take ABAGs numbers.
  • Remember:  State law doesn’t allow a jurisdiction to trade without being a member of a subregion.
  • Each jurisdiction will kick in approximately $3125 to help pay for a planning consultant/facilitator to guide the collaboration.  Vice Mayor Chappie Jones is also offering his staff support for the effort.
