MEETING DATE: JUNE 2, 2009
TO: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: REVISIONS TO HOUSING ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN (GPA 09-001)
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council continue this item to the June 16, 2009, City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND
The Housing Element sets forth the City's strategy to preserve and enhance the
community's character, expand housing opportunities for the City's various economic
segments, and provide policy guidance for local decision making related to housing. The
City is mandated by the State to revise its Housing Element to include recent available
data. On June 17, 2008, the City Council adopted the Housing Element Update as
required by State Law. Following the adoption, the State Department of Housing and
Community Development recommended revisions to the adopted Housing Element to
comply with State Housing Element Law. Those revisions have been made by staff;
however, upon further review by HCD a few outstanding issues continue to remain.
Consequently, additional time is needed to complete the revisions to the Housing Element.
Staff is recommending that the City Council continue this item to the June 16, 2009, City
Council meeting.
