Housing Element and Housing Action Plan

The City's 6th Cycle Housing Element was adopted by City Council and certified by the State in 2022. The Housing Element provides policies and programs to maintain, improve, and accommodate housing needs in the City through a Housing Action Plan.

Certified Housing Element - 6th Cycle 2021-2029 (Housing Action Plan within Section 5)

The Housing Action Plan is a component of the Housing Element that includes development of Objective Design Standards that will apply to projects within a Housing Overlay zone and identification of sites that can be rezoned for residential and mixed-use development. The City initiated the Objective Design Standards and Rezoning Program with a community workshop and public outreach surveys in February and March of 2023. Several drafts of the Objective Design Standards and potential rezone sites have been reviewed by the Design Review Subcommittee and the Planning Commission held a Study Session on March 6, 2024 and meetings on May 8, 2024 and October 2, 2024.
