Document Description
One of the housing programs in the Housing Element specifically calls for rezoning to address Downey’s unmet Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). The General Plan amendments called for in Program 1.1 will be completed at a later date as part of the ongoing General Plan update. Program 1.1 also calls for rezoning actions to address the RHNA shortfall for the 2021-2029 planning period. To implement Program 1.1, two residential overlay zone districts will be created allowing high-density housing development: Housing Overlay #1 (HOU 1) will allow residential development at a density of 18-40 units per acre and will only be applied to R-3 RHNA rezoning sites identified in the Housing Element. It does not apply to the full R-3 zone; and, Housing Overlay #2 (HOU 2) will allow development at 30 units per acre and will only be applied to Mixed Use, Corridor Residential Overlay, and Specific Plan RHNA rezoning sites identified in the Housing Element.
