Document Description
The 2023-2031 Housing Element Update for Half Moon Bay is a required update to the City’s General Plan, aligning with state law and the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process. It identifies housing opportunity sites, policies, and programs to accommodate 782 dwelling units, including affordable, workforce, and market-rate housing, while ensuring consistency with the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and Measure D growth limits. The update addresses housing needs assessments, constraints, resources, fair housing, and public engagement and incorporates recent state housing laws on streamlined approvals, density bonuses, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and housing for special populations. The plan maintains compliance with state and local regulations while ensuring adequate housing capacity for the Cycle 6 planning period (2023-2031).
