What is a
Housing
Element?
State housing law, which compels all local governments to do their “fair share” of planning for adequate housing.
Each local government is required to update its Housing Element periodically; Manteca must update it every eight years. The Housing Element is a required section of the City’s General Plan but adopted separately.
The Housing Element analyzes the housing needs of the community and constraints to housing development within Manteca.
The Housing Element is the City’s housing policy document that identifies goals and programs that guide housing-related actions.

Environmental Review
The General Plan Update EIR (General Plan EIR) addressed the environmental effects of the 2043 General Plan (July 2023) and was certified by the City Council in July 2023 and an Addendum was approved in 2024.
The 6th Cycle Housing Element is a modification of the adopted 2043 General Plan and was analyzed to determine whether the 6th Cycle Housing Element would require changes to the General Plan EIR .
There would not be any new significant environmental effects or any substantial increase in the severity of previously identified environmental effects and that there is no new information of substantial importance that would require changes to the 2043 General Plan EIR.
A Finding of Consistency has been prepared to document the environmental review.
Recommendation
Council conduct a public hearing and:
Adopt a resolution making a finding of General
Plan consistency pursuant to Section 15168(c) of
the CEQA guidelines and approve GPA-24-62 to
the 2043 Manteca General Plan to replace the
2015-2023 Housing Element with the 6th Cycle
