Title

Housing Element Update Program EIR

Body

The Housing Element establishes programs, policies, and actions to meet the City's existing and projected housing needs; provides evidence of the City’s ability to accommodate the RHNA allocation through 2031; and identifies land use and zoning amendments needed to reach the required housing capacity.  A Program EIR will be prepared to evaluate effects on the environment that may occur as a result of future growth within the City until 2035 based on the Housing Element Update. An EIR is an informational document intended to allow the public and decision-makers to consider potential environmental impacts and any measures to avoid or lessen significant effects, prior to actions to adopt the updated Housing Element.
