About

The Ad Hoc Housing Element Committee began meeting in August 2021, and will serve through December 2022. Committee members are anticipated to:

Provide recommendations to the Town Council on an updated Housing Element that provides means to accommodate additional housing units
Explore options to minimize the impacts of additional housing units on the Town’s character, safety concerns, and traffic.
Maximize public participation in the update by encouraging residents, business owners, and the Town’s diverse workforce to attend meetings and share ideas
Communicate information on the Committee’s progress and recommendations to residents

The Ad Hoc Housing Element Committee’s charge is to develop a Housing Element that complies with State law and will be certified, while maintaining Town values. Agendas would be structured to facilitate completion of the Housing Element on the timeline required by the State.

Overview of Whole Housing Element Process

The Ad Hoc Housing Element Committee is only one part of the Housing Element Process. Go to the Housing Element Update for 2023-2031 for an overview.

The Housing Element update is an opportunity to address what has happened before and change course based on what a community needs and values now.

Housing Elements are housing plans that are one part of the General Plan – a guide to all the ways each city, town or county is planned and managed, from our roads to our parks and neighborhoods. With an update required every eight years by the State of California, this Housing Element update will create a foundation for all the policies and programs related to housing.

While city governments do not build housing themselves, they create the rules that affect where housing can be built, how much, and how it gets approved. Each jurisdiction’s housing plan needs to help ensure that there will be enough capacity and supportive policies to meet the projected need over the next 10 years.
