CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake Planning Commission will meet this week to discuss updates to the city's housing element.
The commission will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 18, in the council chambers at 14050 Olympic Drive.
The meeting's primary agenda item is a workshop on the housing element update and contemplated zoning code amendments.
Housing element update consultant Gary Price will present the commission with a draft update to the document.
City Manager Joan Phillipe's report to the commission said that the workshop is being conducted to obtain more input from the public and various affected public agencies on housing information and policies contained in the current 2009-14 Housing Element, with that input to be used for the update in the 2014-19 planning cycle.
“This is also an opportunity to review any new information that needs to be updated regarding the City's housing characteristics and future housing needs and to provide the Commission an opportunity to weigh in on the document and provide the staff/consultant team input on areas in the document that need to be changed to bring it current,” Phillipe wrote.
Staff is not suggesting any action by the commission at the meeting other than to take public comment on both the housing element update and zoning amendment.
Commissioners include Chair Alvaro Valencia and Vice Chair Bill Perkins, and Al Bernal, Carl Webb and Cheryl Hutchinson.
