Document Description
The Project consists of the following components: 1) the City of Calexico 6th Cycle 2021–2029 Housing Element, 2) associated General Plan Amendments, and 3) Zoning Amendments. The proposed project does not approve specific development projects. The Housing Element is the City’s main housing policy and planning document that identifies housing needs and constraints, sets forth goals, policies and programs that address these needs and constraints, and plans for projected housing needs for all income levels over an eight-year planning period that coincides with a Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The 6th Cycle 2021–2029 Housing Element Update identifies suitable sites throughout the City, that can adequately accommodate the required housing capacity set forth by the City’s RHNA, which for the 2021-2029 Sixth Cycle planning period is 4,868 housing units. Because the existing land uses throughout the City do not currently have the prescribed residential densities to meet the City’s RHNA, of the 53 sites in the Sites Inventory, 34 sites have been identified as candidate housing sites for rezoning.
