Assistant Planner Leslie Corrales presented Paramount’s 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report to the council and asked for direction to file the document with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
Corrales told the council that state law requires every city to submit an annual progress report and she summarized the city’s planning framework, noting Paramount’s general plan has eight elements and that the housing element is in its sixth cycle. "We do have to implement 364 housing element units within 8 years," Corrales said, and she reported that since the housing element was adopted the city has implemented 256 housing units.
She provided 2025 activity numbers: the city entitled 81 housing units in 2025 and issued 64 building permits for new construction. Corrales described related planning programs and local projects that support land-use and housing goals and thanked department staff for their work on the report.
The presentation concluded with a staff request that the council authorize filing the annual progress report with OPR and HCD as required by state law.
What happens next: City staff recommended filing the report and continuing program work identified in the progress report; the council did not record a formal vote on the filing during the recorded segments of this meeting.
