A. 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report Tables A, A2, B, D, and LEAP
Reporting (Page A-1)
BACKGROUND:
Each California city, pursuant to Government Code § 65300, is required to prepare and
adopt a General Plan for its jurisdiction with certain mandatory elements, including a
Housing Element. The Housing Element, which is required to be updated every 8 years,
consists of: (a) an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs,
including the local government’s share of the regional housing needs ; (b) an inventory of
1
resources and constraints relevant to meeting those needs; and (c) a program showing a
five-year schedule of actions to be taken to implement the Housing Element, including
how the local government plans to meet its share of the regional housing needs.
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to Government Code § 65400, a local jurisdiction is required to prepare and
submit an annual progress report on a jurisdiction’s status and progress in implementing
its Housing Element by April 1st of each year. Staff have utilized the adopted 6th Cycle
Housing Element for the reporting period of the 2025 calendar year.
In 1995, the Legislature required HCD to adopt forms and definitions for local
governments to use for the preparation of their annual progress reports. Over the years,
the forms and tables were expanded by HCD and updated to include, but are not limited
to, project streamlining, identification of sites to accommodate housing shortfalls, and the
status of expending the Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant funds for applicable
jurisdictions. The following forms are required to be used to satisfy HCD repor ting
requirements:
• Table A - Housing development applications submitted
• Table A2 – Annual building permit activity summary
• Table B - Regional housing needs allocation progress and permits issued by
affordability
• Table C - Sites identified or rezoned to accommodate shortfall housing needs
• Table D - Housing element program implementation status
• Table E - Commercial development bonus
• Table F (optional) - Units rehabilitated, preserved, and acquired for alternative
adequate sites for the 2024 calendar year
• Table F2 – Above Modern income, units converted to Moderate Income pursuant
to Government Code Section 65400.2
• Table G - Locally owned lands in the housing element site inventory
• Table H - Locally owned surplus sites
• Table J – Student housing development for lower income students for which was
granted a density bonus
• Table K – Tenant Preference Policy
• LEAP Reporting
The attached Housing Element 2025 Annual Progress Report only includes information
for Tables A to B, D, and LEAP Reporting, as the City has no reportable information for
Tables C, and E through K, which focus on the construction of commercial development
units that were substantially rehabilitated, acquired, or preserved and locally owned lands
that were sold, leased or disposed of by the City, and student housing. Due to the
extensive amount of information on the tables and to ensure that the information being
presented remains legible, the Housing Element 2025 Annual Progress Report is
available for review here.
2
Staff are of the opinion that the Goals and Policies of the City’s Housing Element for this
reporting period have continued to be implemented by actions taken by the City while
balancing community needs, property rights, and the health, safety and welfare of the
general public.
The Report is being presented to the City Council for review and consideration. Upon
acceptance by the City Council, the Report will be delivered to OPR as well as to HCD by
this year’s submittal deadline of April 1, 2026.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
City of Rancho Palos Verdes 6th Cycle Housing Element Certification
On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-16, approving a General
Plan Amendment for the City’s Revised Final 2021-2029 Housing Element, a General
Plan Amendment for the Land Use Element and Land Use Map, and a Local Coastal Plan
(Coastal Specific Plan) Amendment to effectuate the 2021 -2029 Housing Element.
Additionally, in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City,
on April 16, 2024, the City Council unanimously adopted Urgency Ordinance No.678U
approving zoning amendments inclusive of Zoning Map amendments and development
standards for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units
(JADUs), to immediately effectuate the Housing Element, including rezoning sufficient
sites to accommodate the City’s regional housing needs allocation (RHNA ) by adopting
the implementation actions to effectuate the City’s Revised Final 2021 -2029 Housing
Element. On April 18, 2024, Staff submitted the Final Housing Element and associated
rezoning to HCD to demonstrate that the City was in compliance with State Housing
Element Law as prescribed by the letter from HCD dated April 5, 2024. On April 22, 2024,
Staff submitted Local Coastal Plan Amendments that are part of the Housing Element
update to the California Coastal Commission.
On June 4, 2024, City Council adopted subsequent amendments to the zoning
ordinances, which were confirmed by HCD in a letter dated June 12, 2024 to the City’s
Community Development Department that the City’s Housing Element was in substantial
compliance with State Housing Element Law. The letter indicated that the Housing
Element adopted by the City Council on April 16, 2024, in conjunction with the Zoning
Code amendments required as part of the element’s Program 1, addressed the statutory
requirements of the Housing Element law. The Zoning Code amendments constitute the
actions required by the Housing Element to rezone sites to accommodate the City’s
regional housing needs assessment (RHNA) allocation of 647 potential new housing units
in the City across various income levels through 2029.
On September 3, 2024, the City Council considered Staff’s assessment of the Housing
Sites Inventory of the adopted 2021 -2029 Housing Element, which identified properties
that could be removed from the inventory list while remaining in compliance with State
Housing Laws. Based on an evaluation of the information, the City Council directed Staff
to prepare a revised draft of the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element to remove three sites
from the Housing Element’s Housing Sites Inventory. The three sites included:
3
o No. 16- APN: 7573-006-024 (Southeast of Clipper Road and Palos Verdes Drive
South)
o No. 18- APN: 7564-024-001 (West of UCLA South Bay Site)
o No. 19- 30800 Palos Verdes Drive East
The City Council also directed Staff to submit the revised draft to HCD for formal review
with compliance with State Housing Law.
On January 23, 2025, the Community Development Department received a letter from
HCD confirming that the City’s Revised Housing Element (including the removal of Site
Nos. 16, 18, 19) will continue to comply with State Housing Element Law once the
amendments have been adopted, submitted and reviewed by HCD.
On June 3, 2025, the City Council received a report regarding draft revisions to the City’s
6th Cycle Housing Element, which considered the removal of Site Nos. 16, 18, and 19
from the Housing Sites Inventory. After considering information presented that evening in
the public record, the City Council voted to retain the Housing Element Zoning adopted
on April 16, 2024, inclusive of Site Nos. 16, 18 and 19. The City Council also directed
Staff to notify the California Coastal Commission to proceed with the p rocessing of the
Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCP) for Site No. 16. On June 5, 2025, Staff
informed the California Coastal Commission of the City Council’s request to continue in
the processing of the requested LCP.
On August 14, 2025, the California Coastal Commission approved an amendment to the
City’s Local Coastal Program (Coastal Specific Plan) and Land Use Map. The
amendment modifies the Land Use Map and Zoning Map by increasing allowable density
at one residential site (APN: 7573-006-024) to Residential 12-22 DU/ACRE and revises
the Land Use Plan to eliminate the restriction that all new housing within Subregion 4 be
of single-family nature.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission’s review of the 2025 General Plan Progress Report will be
conducted as part of its regularly scheduled on March 10, 2026. As the Planning
Commission’s review of this agenda item will be conducted on the same day that the City
Council agenda is prepared for publication, any comments from the Planning Commission
regarding the report will be provided to the City Council as late correspondence for their
consideration.
CONCLUSION:
The City Council is being asked to consider authorizing Staff to forward the City’s 2025
Housing Element Annual Progress Report on the 6th Cycle Housing Element’s status, and
its implementation progress during the 2025 calendar year, to OPR and HCD.

*For years prior to 2025, data on deed-restricted vs. non-deed restricted Extremely Low-Income units is approximated from whether the projects reported any deed-restricted Very Low-Income Units. If you wish to edit this historical data for accuracy or have any questions
*For jurisdictions that received RHNA determinations for the current cycle prior to the passage of AB 3093 (September 19, 2024):
- You were not allocated Acutely Low-Income and Extremely Low-Income RHNA targets, therefore the allocations in Field 1 are listed as "0"
- If you wish to set your own targets in these income categories for informational purposes, contact HCD staff at apr@hcd.ca.gov.
