Housing Element Implementation Project
On January 8 and January 29, 2024, the Planning Commission will consider measures to implement Piedmont’s 6th cycle Housing Element – amendments to the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Housing Element implementation. The proposed revisions will make the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan consistent with the programs outlined in the Housing Element, which the City Council adopted in March 2023 and the California Department of Housing and Community Development found to be in substantial compliance in November. These meetings offer an opportunity for community members to better understand proposed implementation measures, and for the Planning Commission to discuss these steps in detail before the City Council considers adoption, which is anticipated for February 2024. Community members can watch and provide comment in writing before the meeting or verbally in-person or via Zoom (link in the agenda, below).
Planning staff previously presented information on these implementation measures at the October, November, and December 2023 Planning Commission meetings and November 20, 2023 and December 18, 2023 City Council meetings.
