Title

Update to the Housing Element

Description

The Update of the Housing Element is an update to the current 1998-2005 Housing Element. The Update addresses a planning period of 2006 through 2014. The Update restates and refines the goals, objectives and policies from the current Housing Element and identifies the programs to implement them. The only material change between the current Housing Element and the Update is the increase in the number of new housing units to be accommodated during this planning period. In accordance with the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region, the City is assigned an allocation of new housing units to accommodate the population during the Housing Element planning period. The current Housing Element includes a RHNA allocation of 60,280 new housing units that were to be accommodated during the 1998-2005 planning period. The Update includes a RHNA allocation of 112,876 new housing units to be provided during the 2006-2014 planning period. The restatement and refinement of Goals, Objectives and Policies and the 112,876 additional housing units constitute the "project" analyzed in this Initial Study. The impacts identified as a result of the changes made to the current Housing Element are addressed in the Final EIR for the Framework Element of the General Plan.
