Final Housing Element
California state law mandates that local governments adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community by preparing a Housing Element as part of its General Plan.
The Housing Element contains a variety of information relative to a community's housing needs along with proposed goals, policies, and programs designed to respond to those needs.
State law also requires that the Housing Element be updated periodically and then certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development. The City of Yorba Linda is currently in the process of updating its Housing Element. A initial draft version of the Element has been prepared and was reviewed by the Planning Commission on July 23, 2008 and then the City Council on August 5, 2008.
Following that review, the Council decided that more public input and discussion was necessary before forwarding it to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for a preliminary review. A public study session for that purpose will be scheduled in the near future.
HCD will provide comments on the draft Element the City eventually submits and then return it to the City for further consideration. The City will be able to make any further changes it feels are necessary prior to re-submitting the Final Housing Element for HCD certification.
