Scoping Meeting: Housing Element Implementation Program Programmatic EIR

BACKGROUND

The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element was adopted in September 2022 as part of the 6th Cycle Housing Element process and was subsequently certified by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on October 5, 2022. The adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element establishes programs, policies and actions to further the goal of meeting the existing and projected housing needs of all income levels of the community and provides evidence of the City’s ability to accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation through the year 2029, as established by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).

The Program EIR will evaluate the potential environmental effects of the implementing actions associated with the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element. To facilitate development of housing as outlined in the adopted Housing Element, the Project requires a General Plan Amendment and amendments to the Municipal Code.
