State signs off on Oakland’s plan to add 26,000 new homes, avoids penalties
State regulators have signed off on Oakland’s plan to add at least 26,000 new homes over the next decade — meaning the Bay Area’s third-largest city is no longer at risk of missing out on crucial funding or losing control over local development rules.” — explaining how and where they aim to accommodate significantly more housing for residents of all income levels between 2023 and 2031.
Bay Area cities and counties were supposed to send adopted housing plans to the state by Jan. 31, but most . And so far, just five local governments have received final approval from state officials. That list now includes Oakland, San Francisco, Emeryville, San Leandro and the city of Alameda.state housing officials informed the city that its plan, which could boost Oakland’s total housing stock by roughly 16%, meets all state requirements.
“The plan has significant and meaningful actions to accommodate housing needs through important zoning, incentives, and many other actions while protecting residents, preserving and improving affordable housing stock and promoting more inclusive and equitable communities,” the California Department of Housing and Community Development said on Twitter.
During past eight-year housing cycles, most local governments, including Oakland, haven’t come close to hitting their low- and middle-income homebuilding targets. To reverse that trend, state officials have increased housing plan requirements and added new penalties for cities and counties that fail to adequately prepare for growth.
