2021-2029 Housing Element Update (General Plan Amendment No. 21-003)
Huntington Beach
Description
The state-required housing plan update finally came back for adoption after years of losing litigation and escalating fines. The hearing opened but no vote is shown in the recording.
Impact summary
Approving the element stops the bleeding of monthly fines and positions the city to regain SB 2 funds, but sets up future rezoning fights across developed neighborhoods.
