Suisun City Housing Element

Suisun City Housing Element

The Draft City of Suisun City 2009 Housing Element is designed to address the projected housing needs of current and future City residents and comply with state law requiring amendment of the Housing Element by June 30, 2009 (Section 65580-65589.8 of the Government Code). The 2009 Housing Element is the City's policy document guiding the provision of housing to meet future needs for all economic segments of Suisun City, including housing affordable to lower-income households. The Suisun City Housing Element is based on 4 strategic goals: (1) creating housing opportunities for current and future residents, (2) preserving neighborhoods and improving the housing stock, (3) addressing special needs groups, and (4) encouraging energy conservation. Suisun City recognizes the need for additional housing affordable to very low-, low-, and moderate-income households as the population grows and the need to accommodate existing residents who do not have suitable, affordable housing. The 2009 Housing Element identifies the policies and programs which the City will implement to ensure that housing in Suisun City is affordable, safe, and decent. The proposed Housing Element addresses housing needs by encouraging the provision of an adequate quantity of sites designated for multi-family housing, by assisting in affordable housing development, and through the preservation and maintenance of existing affordable housing stock. Amendment of the Housing Element is subject to CEQA. No specific development projects are proposed as part of the 2009 Housing Element. However, the 2009 Housing Element does propose changes in existing land use zones and densities, as well as changes to land use regulations.
