ACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City entered into a contract with consultant Mintier Harnish in 2022 to facilitate the City’s required Housing Element Update, which must be adopted by the end of 2023.
T
he Housing Element is one of seven required elements of a city’s General Plan, and it provides the local housing guidance and policies for residential growth within a jurisdiction. Specifically, the Housing Element identifies and analyzes a city’s existing and projected housing needs and adopts a plan to preserve, improve, and develop housing for all economic segments of the community.
S
tate law requires local governments update their H ousing Elements every eight years and specifies what information must be included. The Community Development Department is preparing to release the draft update to the City’s Housing Element for a thirty-day (30) comment period. F ollowing completion of the statutory 30-day comment period , comments will be addressed in the document before submitting the draft to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Once HCD’s review and comment period has concluded, staff will bring the final 2023-2031 Housing Element back to Council for review and approval later this year.
T
his shirtsleeve study session will include an update by the consultants on the draft Housing Element, and provide an opportunity for the City Council and the public to provide comments on the 6th Cycle draft Housing Element Update.
