City of Paramount 2021-2029 Housing Element, Health & Safety, and Environmental Justice Element Update

City of Paramount 2021-2029 Housing Element, Health & Safety, and Environmental Justice Element Update

The 2021-2029 Housing Element applies to all properties within the City of Paramount on which existing General Plan land use designations and zoning allow residential and/or mixed-use development. The Housing Element does not specifically authorize the construction of any housing development, nor does it indicate where and when specific housing projects would occur. The Housing Element is a policy document setting forth the City’s plan to accommodate its share of regional housing needs, as determined by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). For the 2021-2029 planning period, the City of Paramount’s share is 364 housing units. This allocation is referred to as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment, or RHNA. In conjunction with this Housing Element update, the City is also undertaking an update to the Health and Safety Element to adopt climate adaptation strategies, an Environmental Justice Element to comply with SB 1000 and SB 244.
