ACCEPT the 2014 Annual Housing Element Progress Report, in accordance with Government Code Section 65400.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The Housing Element is one of seven mandatory elements that every jurisdiction must include in its General Plan.
State Housing Element law mandates that all local governments adequately plan to meet the existing and projected
housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The Association of Bay Area Governments allocates the
Bay Area regional housing need to all the cities and counties in the Bay Area. Pursuant to Government Code Section
65400, the County is required to submit an annual report to the State Department of Housing and Community
Development and the State Office of Planning and Research by April 1 of each year. Jurisdictions are also required to
submit the annual report to their legislative bodies for review and comment. Attached to this Board Order is the
County's 2014 Annual Housing Element Progress Report.
The County's previous Housing Element (Fourth Cycle) covered the planning period from 2007 to 2014 and plans for
the provision of 3,508 units of housing in the unincorporated County. This is the final report for the Fourth Cycle
Housing Element.
