On October 21, 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 03-134 which approved the housing element of the General Plan.

The housing element contains policies and programs to develop and retain affordable housing. At the City Council’s meeting of May 21, 2003, a motion was made and carried that the requirement shall be increased to twenty percent (20%) permanently affordable low- and moderate-income housing.

The housing element contains Program i.2.1, that requires a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the total units of any project with more than six (6) new housing units be dedicated for permanent affordability for the life of the project. This shall include subdivisions and condominium conversions. The units shall be designated for a unit mix of low- and moderate-income households in a manner that does not conflict with Resolution No. 13,356. (Ord. 3671 § 4, 2023; Ord. 3344, 2004. Formerly 8-2)
