DE TITLEWORK PLAN FOR REVISION OF THE HOUSING
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No action is required. The presentation of the work plan is an information item only.
ITEM EXPLANATION
State law requires that the Housing Element of the City’s General Plan be updated at least el
five years. The new Housing Element must be adopted by City Council no later than Jul
1991. The legal requirements for a comprehensive element are more extensive than for any oi
General Plan element. In addition to previous requirements, additional information and ana:
such as issues dealing with the homeless as well as identifying low income units that are bc
eliminated, are to be included in this new Housing Element.
Because of the state-mandated schedule for completing the Housing Element by July 1991,
work plan will proceed on an accelerated schedule, separate from the work plan for the ow
revision to the General Plan which is just starting.
The attached work plan covers the basic tasks and includes a time line and a critical path ch
The revision process includes public participation to identify housing issues of concern to
citizenry, the development community and housing advocacy groups. A preliminary draft of
element is scheduled for completion by the end of the year. State law requires that each elem
be reviewed for compliance with all legal requirements. This review is carried out by the Si
of California Department of Housing and Community Development, usually prior to adoptior
the City Council in order to make revisions to the completed element.
Due to the complexity of some requirements and the various legal issues that might be raisec
the adequacy of the element, a housing consultant, experienced in the various housing issues
legal requirements, is proposed to be brought in to assist with this element. The general scl
of the consultant’s work will be to assist staff with an analysis of the work plan and review
finished draft with recommendation for revisions to strengthen areas of concern.
