Piedmont receives 2025 housing element annual progress report; ADUs and RHNA discussed
Summary
Staff presented the state-mandated 2025 Annual Progress Report on the 6th-cycle housing element (2023–2031), reporting a RHNA of 587 units, 15 building permits in 2025, 16 planning approvals and 14 completed projects in 2025, and discussed ADU affordability assumptions and HCD enforcement expectations.
Interim Planning and Building Director Jeff Bond and Senior Planner Pierce McDonald presented Piedmont’s 2025 Annual Progress Report on implementation of the city’s 6th-cycle housing element (2023–2031). Bond summarized the HCD reporting process and key metrics: Piedmont’s RHNA allocation is 587 units; in 2025 the city reported 15 building permits issued, 16 planning approvals and 14 projects completed.
Senior Planner Pierce McDonald explained the methodology used to estimate affordability mix—adapting an ABAG-MTC memo about ADU affordability to Piedmont’s unit sizes—and staff discussed the Moraga Canyon specific plan RFQ and the state’s growing enforcement focus. Bond warned that the Department of Housing and Community Development has increased enforcement and that serious enforcement can include referrals to the attorney general.
