1. Housing Element Update. Adoption and implementation of the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2023-2031), including but not limited to the adoption and implementation of General Plan and Zoning Amendments, to accommodate the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 1,896 new housing units within the city. This component is referred to as the Housing Element throughout this EIR.
2. Safety Element Update. Adoption and implementation of related updates to the City’s Safety Element. The Safety Element is currently combined with the City's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), adopted in 2016.

The Safety Element portion of the combined Safety Element/LHMP document will become a standalone document as part of this update. The Safety Element identifies public safety risks and creates a unique set of goals, policies, and implementation actions that address these risks. This component is referred to as the Safety Element throughout this EIR.
