Summary

The council adopted the required calendar-year 2024 general plan and housing element annual progress report and directed staff to submit it to the state; staff said the housing forms include building-permit counts and that the report will be uploaded to the state's website by the April 1 deadline.

City staff presented the Carmel-by-the-Sea general plan and housing element annual progress report for calendar year 2024 during the March 30 special meeting and the council adopted the resolution directing staff to submit the report to the state.

Planner Marnie (last name not specified in meeting materials) summarized the report, saying it compiles the city's 2024 planning and housing activity and that the housing-element portion uses forms created by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to report building-permit and development activity. She told the council the report was due April 1 and staff would upload it to the state site.

A council member asked about timing for the housing-element amendment and staff said the sequence includes planning commission and council updates in the coming weeks, with a mid-May update expected and a planned summer presentation of draft language and redlines. The planner described the HCD forms as prefilled spreadsheets with built-in formulas that take permit and application data and compute the items HCD requires.

The council voted unanimously to adopt the resolution authorizing staff to submit the general plan and housing element annual progress report to the state. Staff noted the city will continue public updates on the housing-element amendment process.
