2009 Housing Element Update

2009 Housing Element Update

The Draft Housing Element identifies both sites of current projects that will contribute to the attainment of goals for the provision of housing units, and sites for future projects. The purpose of the Negative Declaration is to review systematically the potential impacts of housing development on the sites identified in the Draft Housing Element, taking into account the CEQA documents previously completed for the housing target sites, which addressed many of the potential impacts of the potential development of housing on those sites, consistent with current zoning: the Housing Element does not propose any zoning changes that would alter the use of site from some other zoning designation to residential, or alter the housing unit capacity of any targeted site.
