Document Description
The Housing Plan implements 32 programs in the adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element, including ongoing programs, procedural changes, municipal code amendments, and other actions to meet state housing requirements and accommodate the City Regional Housing Needs Allocation of 8,001 new housing units. The proposed project includes adoption of an Adaptive Reuse Ordinance, preparation of a planning framework for the La Cumbre Plaza Planning Area, amendments to the Average Unit-Size Density (AUD) Incentive Program, adoption of Objective Design and Development Standards, updates to the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance, and process improvements to streamline permitting; Associated amendments to the Municipal Code, General Plan, and Local Coastal Program to maintain consistency with the Housing Element and State law.
For environmental analysis purposes, this EIR assumes a conservative scenario in which up to 8,001 housing units could be permitted and constructed by 2035, along with associated nonresidential development anticipated under cumulative conditions. These updates do not authorize specific development projects but provide the regulatory and policy framework.
