Housing Element Meeting - March 4th

The San Bruno Planning Commission will hold a public meeting on Tuesday, March 4, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. to discuss the update of the San Bruno Housing Element for the 2014-2022 planning period. No action is required for this item. All interested persons are invited to attend. The meeting location is the Senior Center, 1555 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno.

There will be a presentation on the update process by City staff, discussion with Planning Commissioners and opportunity for public input on the planning for housing in San Bruno. To comply with State housing law, the City must adopt the Housing Element update and submit it to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review. The  Housing Element must be certified by HCD before January 31, 2015.  The Housing Element includes a housing needs assessment, identifies housing constraints, identifies sites to meet the City’s regional fair share housing obligation, and develop goals and policies for upcoming planning period.

The City anticipates a wide range housing opportunities in the future to meet San Bruno's fair share of regional housing obligation. Many of the potential housing sites are in the Transit Corridors area, which is governed by the Transit Corridors Specific Plan (adopted in 2013), which embraces a bold new vision for mixed-use development (housing over retail) in the area around the new San Bruno Avenue Caltrain Station, scheduled to open this year.

We hope you can make it to provide your perspective on housing needs and ideas to address those needs in San Bruno. Could you distribute this email and flyer to the Chamber member list? Or perhaps you have another email list of San Bruno residents?
