Proposed 2006-2014 Update to the Housing Element of the General Plan Case No. CPC-2008-2120-GPA Citywide General Plan Amendment

The City of Los Angeles will conduct two (2) Public Hearings regarding the proposed 2006-2014 Update to the Housing Element. You have received this notice because you have indicated an interest in the project. The proposed project is an amendment of the current 1998-2005 Housing Element of the General Plan for the 2006-2014 planning period.

This update to the Housing Element satisfies the requirements of Government Code Sections 65580 - 65589.9 by (1) identifying sites which can accommodate the City’s share of the State’s housing need (Regional Housing Needs Assessment or RHNA) of 112, 876 units of housing without the need for any change in zoning and (2) providing a statement of goals, objectives, policies and programs the City intends to implement to assure that those housing units meet the needs of all income groups in the City for the years 2006 to 2014. The Housing Element of the General Plan is amended every 5 to 7 years.

Public Hearings will be conducted by the City Planning Commission and the Affordable Housing Commission (Commissions) on June 12 and June 26, 2008 at 8:30 AM. The Commissions will consider all testimony presented to the City at that time and any written communications received prior to the hearings. The Commissions will subsequently prepare a recommendation, which will be considered by the City Council at a public hearing on a later date. The environmental documentation (ENV-2007-5270-EAF) will be among the matters addressed by the City Council on this later date. Written communications and comments should be addressed to Naomi Guth, City Planning Department, 200 N. Spring Street, Room 721, Los Angeles, CA 90012, and should reference City Planning Case Number CPC-2008-2120-GPA.

Copies of the Revised Draft of the Update of the Housing Element and relevant documents are available for review at the Department of City Planning and the City’s central and regional libraries. Electronic copies are also available online at the Department of City Planning’s website cityplanning.lacity.org (click on “Draft Housing Element Update 2006-2014” under “What’s New”).
