Next Step
Submit 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report to HCD and LCI on or before April 1, 2026
CEQA Consideration
The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378). Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA and NEPA applicability.
Strategic Plan Initiative
Economic Development, Housing, City Services, and Public Safety Fiscal and Sustainability Impact
The city's submission of the HE APR has no direct fiscal impact. However, cities that do not submit an HE APR to HCD and LCI may not be eligible for future grants or loans from HCD due to non-compliance with this requirement.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution accepting and authorizing the submission of the City's the 2025 Housing Element (HE) Annual Progress Report (APR) to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) as required by Government Code Section 65400(b).
