Title: City of Berkeley Housing Element Update
Description: The proposed project consists of a comprehensive update to the Housing Element and related edits to the City’s General Plan Land Use Element and Berkeley Municipal Code. The goals, policies, and actions in the Housing Element are required to meet Berkeley’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation. The City has determined that rezoning is not needed to meet the RHNA. However, recent development activity suggests current zoning does not deliver the level of deed-restricted affordable housing and economic diversity that the HEU aims to achieve. Therefore, the HEU contains implementation programs and zoning policies to encourage additional housing, particularly affordable housing that supports a diversity of income levels and household types. The EIR analyzes a growth assumption of an estimated of 19,098 units throughout the city.
