Planning Department clarification regarding the above Housing Element Amendment Draft item
6th Cycle Housing Element Amendment: The City Council will review and receive public comment on draft amendments to the City's adopted 6th cycle Housing Element and provide comments. The draft amendments are concentrated in Chapter 2 and Appendix C of the 6th cycle Housing Element and include modifications to various programs and strategies that align with the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), including a more robust hotel-to-residential transfer of development rights program, accessory dwelling units program, religious facilities program, live/work program, and mixed-income incentive program. These strategies aim to redistribute the City's regional share of affordable housing throughout the village rather than concentrating the majority of the units on city-owned sites at Sunset Center and Vista Lobos. Following review by the City Council, the draft amendments would be submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for a formal review.
