Document Description
In 2022, MND 21-01 evaluated potential environmental impacts resulting with the Bellflower 2021-2029 Housing Element, Downtown Bellflower Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan (TOD SP) Amendment, and Future Zone Changes. The Housing Element, TOD SP Amendment, and Zone Changes provided programs and regulations to ensure that the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation for residential units could be met, as required by State law. In early 2025, the City then approved a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Amendment to the TOD Specific Plan, and Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments to specifically implement goals and policies identified by the various housing programs, including ensuring adequate sites to accommodate the RHNA. In 2026, HCD required further amendment to the City’s Zoning Ordinance to further ensure compliance with Government Code Section 65583.2 (h) and (i) by requiring: (1) 50% of total gross floor area for Mixed-Use development be allocated to residential uses, (2) owner-occupied and rental multifamily uses would be permitted-by-right for developments when at least 20% of the units are affordable to lower-income households, and (3) future sites being rezoned to satisfy the City’s lower-income RHNA have a minimum density of 20 dwelling units per acre. With approval of the 2026 Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments, the City determined that MND 21-01 provided the necessary environmental evaluations and clearance for the 2026 Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments. This NOD notices the City’s CEQA determination.
