Subject: The Lynwood City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider the
submittal of an amendment to the City's Housing Element of its General
Plan (2021-2029 Housing Element) to the California Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) for approval.
Since 1969, California has required that all local governments properly plan to meet the housing
needs of everyone in their community through the California Housing Element law. The Housing
Element is required by state law, among other provisions, to:
• Determine the existing and projected housing needs of Lynwood residents, including
special needs populations;
• Identify adequate capacity for housing development to accommodate the City of
Lynwood's Regional Housing Needs Assessment allocation issued by the Southern
California Association of Governments;
• Analyze constraints on housing production; and,
• Establish goals, policies, and programs that will implement the City's housing
objectives.
This law requires an update every eight years. The City's current Housing Element, which covers
the planning period of 2013-2021, was adopted on August 6, 2013, by the City Council and
certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD) on October
11, 2013. The City's amended Housing Element will cover the planning period of October 15,
2021 to October 14, 2029.
'For the new planning period (2021-2029), the City been assigned 1558 units of housing at a
variety of affordability levels under this new Housing Element cycle, and must demonstrate that it
has the capacity for these units. This year, the update is required to be adopted by the City
Council and submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for
approval by October 15, 2021. Following the approval of the City's 2021-2029 Housing Element
update by HCD, the draft update will be put into final format and submitted to the Planning
Commission followed by the City Council for approval and adoption of the City's 2021-2029
Housing Element along with the required environmental documentation, per the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA").
