Planning commission to discuss housing‑element and land‑use code updates in upcoming meetings
Summary
Staff told the commission it will schedule a Planning Commission–City Council study session in September on the housing element (including affirmatively furthering fair housing) and return land‑use code conversations in early August; staff expects an administrative draft code prior to a staff retirement and plans a September review.
Staff announced scheduling for two forthcoming items. Planning staff said a joint Planning Commission and City Council study session is being planned for September to discuss the housing element update, including the new requirement to affirmatively further fair housing. Staff emphasized the session is a review and that major policy direction is not expected to change from prior cycles.
Staff also said land‑use code conversations will return to the commission in early August with two meetings planned: one on development standards and density and another focused on permit process. An administrative draft of the land‑use code is expected to be delivered to staff prior to an upcoming retirement and staff plans to bring a draft to the commission in September after the August discussions.
Commissioners were informed of the schedule and asked to look for calendar polls and materials ahead of the meetings.
