CLEARLAKE, Calif. – City Manager Alan Flora announced that the city of Clearlake has just released the first public draft of the 2019-27 Housing Element.
This is an eight-year update to the city’s General Plan Housing Element; a policy document describing existing housing conditions, a review of resources available to facilitate new housing construction and a strategy that addresses goals, policies and programs for Clearlake’s housing needs.
A second public workshop with the Clearlake Planning Commission has been scheduled in the city council chambers, located at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive, on Tuesday, June 4, starting at 6 p.m.
The Preliminary Draft Housing Element may be reviewed from the city’s Web site at http://www.clearlake.ca.us/355/Housing-Element-Update-2019-27 or hard copies of the document can be obtained for purchase from the Planning Department at 707-994-8201.
After the workshop, the document will be prepared for submittal to the California Department of Housing and Community Development, or HCD, which will review it for compliance with state housing codes.
After this review, the housing element document will be scheduled for adoption by the planning commission and city council in late summer, and then again be returned to HCD for final certification.
Final certification provides city access to grants and many housing programs offered by the state.
“We are making a big effort to reach out to the public to obtain their input regarding the city’s housing needs, and would like to hear from our community at this second public workshop. We plan to have other meetings with the public in a few more months too, so if you miss this workshop, we can always hear from you during the adoption workshops coming this summer,” said Flora.
