Title

Housing Element

 

The 2019 Housing Element is an update to the 2014 Humboldt County Housing Element, and a required element of the General Plan.  The Housing Element consists of a narrative which describes the purpose of the Housing Element, the requirements of state law, the relationship of the Housing Element to the rest of the General Plan, background information regarding past elements, current and projects housing needs and conditions.  The core of the Housing Element is a series of goals, policies, standards, and implementation measures for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing.  It meets details requirements of state housing element law, including requirements for a residential land inventory sufficient to meet the County’s share of the state prescribed housing need.  The update is necessary to comply with state housing element law and to adopt local policy options to meet the documented housing needs.  The 2019 Housing Element Update would apply throughout the unincorporated areas of Humboldt County.  For unincorporated lands inside the Coastal Zone, the 2019 Housing Element will not be effective until the California Coastal Commission certifies it as an amendment to the County's Local Coastal Program. 

Recommendation

Move to recommend the Board of Supervisors consider the Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 2017 Humboldt County General Plan (SCH #2007012089) and adopt the 2019 Housing Element.
