January 2010 Housing Element Adopted!

At its January 19, 2010 public hearing, the City Council approved the Housing Element and mitigated negative declaration of environmental impact. The adopted January 2010 Housing Element was certified by HCD in summer 2010.

Preparing the Housing Element involved thousands of hours of work by citizens, advisory body members, non-profit housing and civic organizations, and City staff. The City is proud of the results and looks forward to implementing the Element's many programs intended to expand affordable housing. The adopted Housing Element carries forward many of the aggressive housing programs launched in 2004 and includes new programs to expand housing for persons of all income levels. The City’s track record shows our housing programs are working, with almost 1,300 dwellings built, under construction or approved since January 2007. The City will continue that aggressive commitment to housing construction into the Elements 2010-2014 planning period.
