Housing Presentation to Planning Commission
At the May 13, 2021 Planning Commission meeting, the General Plan Update Team presented an overview of Housing Element requirements and their relationship to the General Plan. This presentation included the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), the City’s preliminary strategy for meeting its RHNA, and the process and tentative schedule for the Housing Element Update.
Phase Two
In a two-step approach, the General Plan Team presented decision-makers with the community’s vision for the future General Plan land use map.
The results from a series of community engagement events on three land use alternatives was presented to Planning Commission and City Council in September 2020. Following direction from both decision-making bodies, the General Plan Team revised the three concepts into one preferred map, referred to as the “preferred land use alternative.” The preferred alternative received community feedback and direction which was later presented to Planning Commission and City Council in March 2021. Decision-makers provided additional direction and endorsed the preferred land use map.
