Title

San Francisco 2004 and 2009 Housing Element

Description

The subject of this EIR is the proposed revision of the Housing Element of the San Francisco General Plan (General Plan). The Housing Element is a policy document that consists of goals and policies to guide the City and private developers in providing housing for existing and future residents to meet project housing demand, as required under Government Code section 65580 et seq. ("State housing element law"). State law requires the housing element to be updated periodically, usually every five years. The City underwent a comprehensive planning process and in June 2011, adopted the 2009 Housing Element. Subsequent to adoption of the 2009 Housing Element, the San Francisco Superior Court ordered the City to revise the EIR's analysis of alternatives and reconsider the approval of the 2009 Housing Element. After revising the alternatives analysis, and certifying the revised EIR, the City adopted the 2009 Housing Element (amended to delete references to Japantown) as the Housing Element of the General Plan.
