Weed council adopts 2023'2031 housing element update and introduces zoning amendments
Summary
The council adopted Resolution No. 43-2024 to approve the city's 2023'2031 housing element and adopted zoning text amendments on first reading (Ordinance No. 477-2024); PlaceWorks staff said the state estimated an 8-year growth need of two housing units for Weed and issued conditional compliance pending final certification.
The Weed City Council voted to adopt the city's 2023 through 2031 housing element update and to introduce zoning text amendments meant to implement that plan.
Jennifer Gastelum of PlaceWorks told the council the plan is a standard, state‑required document that demonstrates enough available land to accommodate projected growth. "The future growth number estimated by the state was 2 units over this next 8 year period," Gastelum said, noting the plan had already been submitted to the state and received a conditional compliance letter in May.
Councilmember 10 moved to adopt Resolution No. 43-2024, which the council approved by voice vote. The council then moved and seconded to introduce Ordinance No. 477-2024 for first reading by title only to enact zoning text amendments supporting the housing element.
Gastelum explained that, if the council adopts the documents tonight and the city resubmits to the state, the state will perform a 60-day review for formal certification. The housing element update covers state-required demographics and local site availability, and PlaceWorks staff said the city currently meets the state's informational requirements for the 6th cycle update.
Council discussion was limited, and there were no public comments during the hearing.
The ordinance was introduced on first reading by title only and will return for subsequent readings as required by local procedure.
