The current adopted Housing Element is for the 2014-2021 planning period. The City is now in the process of updating its 6th Cycle Housing Element for the planning period of October 15, 2021- October 15, 2029. The Housing Element process generally includes the following steps: • Determine the Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) • Update previous Housing Element • Submit draft to HCD for review/approval • Revise and adopt (or adopt without changes) • Submit adopted Housing Element to HCD Because the housing element process must be revised according to a legally mandated schedule, if the City does not adopt their element within 120 calendar days from the statutory start date of the planning period, the City will then be required to revise and adopt the housing element every four years until timely adopting at least two consecutive revisions by the applicable due date. For the 6th Cycle planning period, the statutory start date for all jurisdictions in the Southern California Association of Government (SCAG) is October 15, 2021. To meet the October 15, 2021 statutory deadline submittal of the City's draft housing element to HCD, the City will need to follow the recommended timeline included as an attachment to this memo. Incorporated as additional attachments is a copy of Table III-47 Vacant Land Inventory of Sites for Extremely Low, Very Low, Low and Moderate Income Units inclusive of maps related to the inventory for larger viewing that will be part of the Housing Element Study Session of September 9, 2021.
