2021-2029 Housing Element, Downtown Bellflower Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan Amendment, and Required Zone Changes to the Mixed Use Overlay Zone

The Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration evaluate potential environmental impacts resulting with the Bellflower 2021-2029 Housing Element, Downtown Bellflower Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan Amendment, and Future Zone Changes. The Housing Element applies to all areas within the City and provides policies and programs to ensure that the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment residential units are constructed as required by State law. Accordingly, the Initial Study and MND evaluate a total of 4,147 residential units that could potentially be built within selected areas and the downtown area of the City. To accommodate these future residential units, the land use plan and density standards within the existing Downtown Bellflower Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan is being amended. In addition, the zoning classifications and density standards for the other selected areas will also be amended in the future.
