Title

County of San Benito 2023-2031 Housing Element Implementation Project

Description

The proposed Project involves implementation of the County's 6th Cycle Housing Element Program 3-2, which includes amending the General Plan and Zoning Code to allow higher-density residential development (20–45 du/ac) on 12 candidate housing sites in the unincorporated County. The Project would create a new General Plan Residential High land use designation and a new Residential High zoning district, apply it to the 12 sites (totaling approximately 100 acres), and establish zoning capacity to accommodate 4,497 new housing units. 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. This IS/MND analyzes the full development capacity of all 12 candidate sites for purposes of CEQA.
