Page 8 / Los Altos Town Crier / June 23, 2021 Comment Editorial Peek into the Past Magic needed to meet RHNA quota e’re all breathing a little easier now, figuratively and literally, following the easing of mask require- Wments last week and the end of the tiered COVID framework. There’s a sense of greater freedom – and relief. Things are looking up. Still, as we recover from the pandemic, another challenge lies ahead for Los Altos and similar communities across the state dominated by single-family residences: accommodat- ing high-density housing development. A raft of new pro-housing laws may mean big changes for cities like Los Altos. For instance, State Senate Bill 9, cur- rently moving through the Assembly, allows single-family lots to be split, with two units on each side. Then there’s the new housing element. As part of the gen- eral plan, it lays out a strategy for quantity and location of new housing, both market-rate and affordable. It’s renewed in eight- year cycles. Los Altos is working on a new one for January 2023. Los Altos is assigned what’s called Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) numbers. For the next housing cycle, the city is expected to provide 1,958 new units – 843 COURTESY OF LOS ALTOS HISTORY MUSEUM market-rate and 1,115 deemed affordable. On this day in 1980, Sam Harding gave rickshaw rides at the Los Altos History Museum’s These expectations seem downright insane when you look (formerly the History House) Summer Gala. at the last cycle. Here are numbers collected from the Los Altos Affordable Housing Alliance: five net new affordable housing units generated between 2014 and 2020 – three low- income, two moderate. There were 164 “above moderate” or market-rate units generated. That’s 169 units in six years.
