Document Description
The proposed Project involves implementation of the City's 6th Cycle Housing Element, which includes amending the General Plan and Zoning Code. The Project involves 258 candidate housing sites (i.e., parcels) for rezoning within the City's boundaries. The HEU estimates a total potential housing capacity of 16,197 dwelling units ("DU"), including accessory, entitled Specific Plans, and proposed rezones. This shows a surplus of approximately 96 percent (7,925 DU) over the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) of 8,272 DU. The proposed rezone strategies on the candidate housing sites have a realistic housing development capacity of 8,587 DU and a maximum housing development capacity of 16,198 DU. The Project is programmatic in nature and does not approve or entitle any site-specific development. Future housing projects would occur incrementally over time and may be subject to ministerial or discretionary review depending on applicable State housing laws. The Initial Study evaluates the potential environmental impacts from a maximum housing development capacity of 13,674 DU (when accounting for a maximum of 128 accessory dwelling units (ADU) and an existing housing development capacity of 2,652 DU).
