Example Calculation — Streamlined Ministerial Approval Process Guidelines (final updated)

For a locality two years into the reporting period, the determination is calculated at two out of eight years of the planning period and will be based upon a pro-rata share of two-eighths, or 25 percent, of the regional housing need, and the following year, for the same locality, the determination will be calculated at three out of eight years of the planning period based upon a pro-rata share of three-eighths, or 37.5 percent, of the regional housing need, and the following year for the same locality the determination will be calculated at four out of eight years of the planning period based upon a pro-rata share of four-eighths, or 50 percent, of the regional housing need. At that point, the locality will reach its mid-point of the planning period and the determination, the pro-rata share, and the permitting progress toward the pro-rata share will hold until the locality reaches the end-point of the planning period.

(d) Local governments that do not submit their latest required APR prior to the Department’s determination are subject to the Streamlined Ministerial Approval Process for developments with 10 percent of units affordable to lower-income households or the 20 percent moderate income option if the site is located in the San Francisco Bay Area.
(e) To determine if a locality is subject to the Streamlined Ministerial Approval Process for developments with 50 percent of units affordable to lower-income households, the Department shall compare the permit data received through the APR to the pro-rata share of their independent very low- and low-income regional housing need for the
