Over the coming weeks, the General Plan team will be refining and expanding the 2006 housing element to meet new state requirements and regional goals. The City looks forward to feedback and ideas from community members and other key stakeholders as the process moves forward. Community meetings will likely be held in late spring 2009. Check back soon for more information on the housing element update process!
