PUBLIC HEARING ITEM
2. HOUSING ELEMENT REZONE IMPLEMENTING PROGRAMS 1.1A, 1.113, 11.11F,
AND 1.1 G OF THE 6TH CYCLE 2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT OF THE
GENERALPLAN
Under State law, the City's Housing Element must show that the City can provide its
fair share of regional housing over an eight -year period (2021 to 2029). The City's
share of housing is established by a process called the Regional Housing Needs
Allocation (RHNA). The current RHNA mandates the City to accommodate the
construction of at least 6,782 dwelling units. However, the City's current zoning can
only accommodate 4,614 new dwellings; which results in a shortfall of 2,168 units.
Pursuant to the mandates of State law, the City established a "rezone program" in
the Housing Element that specifies properties that will be rezoned to residential to
resolve the shortfall. After lengthy public engagement and input, surveys, workshops,
and hearings, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Housing
Element on September 13, 2022, and the City Council adopted the Housing Element
on October 4, 2022. The adopted Housing Element included programs to
accommodate the RHNA shortfall by rezoning areas of Tustin Legacy, the Enderle
Center, and the Tustin Market Place.
The adopted Housing Element was then submitted to the California Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD), and subsequently, the City received
certification by HCD on October 10, 2022. The proposed Housing Element Rezone
implements the City's adopted and certified Housing Element.

The proposed Housing Element Rezone was considered by the Planning
Commission at a duly noticed public hearing on September 24, 2024, and October
8, 2024. The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council certify the
environmental impact reports (EIRs) and approve the Rezone project. The City
Council considered the proposal at a noticed public hearing on November 19, 2024.
The Council received public comment and continued the item to a future meeting.
