On Thursday City of Fremont Planning Department staff held a community workshop to discuss plans for meeting the city's housing needs over the next 20 years.
Planning consultant Don Weden made a presentation about population, energy consumption and environmental issues that Fremont residents should consider when making land use and housing plans.
Dan Schoenholz, General Plan Update Project Manager discussed the two major issues the Housing Element will address: land use; where future housing will be located and housing affordability. Schoenholz reported on that Fremont will need to create approximately 4,300 new housing units by 2014 to accommodate population growth. Of these new units half will need to be made affordable to moderate, low and very low-income households.
This workshop will be the first of several public meetings and hearings to be held by the City of Fremont prior to completing the Housing Element. Fremont City Staff hope to submit a draft version of the Housing Element to the Planning Commission by December 11 and to the City Council by January 13. The final Housing Element must be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development by June, 2009 for their review and approval.

On Tuesday (9/23), the Fremont City Council reached a compromise position on second-story additions. They scrapped a proposed ordinance that would have allowed individual neighborhoods to ban such additions for a seven-year period and instead will place a temporary and limited moratorium on "monster home" additions.
Responding to months of input from neighborhood groups, individual property owners and the real estate community, the council agreed to place a temporary, six-month moratorium on second-story additions and "tear-down" remodels in the Glenmoor and Mission Ranch neighborhoods. During the moratorium, the city will develop specific design standards for second-story additions - an action suggested by Bay East during earlier testimony to the planning commission and city council.
REALTOR® Impact: The moratorium and the pending design standards will impact approximately 300 homes in Glenmoor and 180 homes in Mission Ranch. All other Fremont properties are exempt from the moratorium and the new standards. Additions will still be allowed in these neighborhoods during the moratorium if they don't exceed 25 percent of the first floor square footage. Additionally, "tear downs" also will be allowed if approved by the planning director.
