Plumas County planning staff opened a public workshop on the county’s 2024–2029 housing element and told the Planning Commission on March 6 that the county is behind the schedule it had given the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
Planning staff said the housing element must address a state HCD checklist — including an affirmatively furthering fair housing analysis, a sites inventory and specific goals, policies and programs — and then be circulated for a 30‑day public review before the county has 10 days to revise and submit to HCD for a 90‑day review. “The state has sent us a letter.
