The draft proposed 2023 – 2031 Allocations (Piedmont = 587) are “illustrative only” at this point according to the ABAG report:
“These are shown for illustrative purposes only.The ABAG Executive Board and MTC Commission adopted changes to the strategies for the Plan Bay Area 2050 Final Blueprint in September 2020. The changes adopted at that time will affect information about total households in Year 2050 from the Final Blueprint; updated data will be available in December 2020. As this information from the Blueprint is used as the baseline allocation for the proposed RHNA methodology, updates in the Final Blueprint could lead to changes in the ultimate allocations. Data from the Final Blueprint will be integrated into the Draft RHNA Methodology slated for January 2021.ABAG will approve a Final Methodology and issue Draft Allocations in Spring 2021 which will be followed by an appeal period before ABAG issues Final Allocations by the end of 2021. Jurisdiction Housing Elements will be due to HCD by January 2023.”
