AUGUST 20, 2026 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AGENDA ITEM #6: HOUSING ELEMENT SITE INVENTORY MODIFICATIONS I urge you to remove this item from the meeting's Consent Calendar, and to direct staff to refer to the Planning and Transportation Commission
all proposed modifications to the
Housing Element Site Inventory so that the Commission can hold a public hearing on the subject and make a recommendation to the City Council which would then hold a public hearing on the subject before making a decision.
The only reason there might be an urgency to justify the City Council giving the Director of Planning and Development Services
the right to make such modifications is if the
Director is aware of a specific project or projects that would benefit from the modifications and would need the Director to act quickly.
If there are any such projects, then the request to modify the Housing Element Site Inventory should come from the
applicant(s) who would benefit from the modifications instead of from the Director.
Thank you for your consideration of these comments.
