How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lake County Board of Supervisors will hold a joint public hearing with the Lake County Planning Commission on Tuesday, March 27, to consider adopting the Lake County Housing Element Update.
The hearing will begin at 2 p.m. in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
The housing element is an assessment of housing needs and issues facing the unincorporated areas of the county.
The Lake County Community Development Department and Housing Element Advisory Committee have been working together for the past year to complete an update of the housing element previously adopted in 2004.
The update includes information on special housing needs and constraints, existing housing stock conditions, future housing needs, and an inventory of local, state and federal housing and financing programs.
The update also includes an inventory of lands suitable for residential development and detailed goals, policies and implementation measures aimed at improving housing in Lake County.
The public hearing will allow for interested members of the public to discuss new housing element goals, policies and implementation programs updated from the previously adopted housing element.
There also will be a discussion of recommended changes made in compliance with the California Department of Housing and Community Development 60-day review of the first draft of this proposed housing element revision.
Community members are encouraged to participate in this dialogue and assist in providing suggestions and comments on the proposed housing element update.
Upon adoption by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors the housing element will be forwarded to Housing and Community Development for certification in compliance with Government Code Section 65585(h).
