Action alert: no extensions for non-compliant cities!
- Many high-opportunity cities in LA County adopted bad housing elements that will not achieve necessary housing growth, and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has rightfully declined to certify these inadequate plans. Per last year’s AB 1398, these non-compliant cities have one year to implement rezoning plans instead of three.
- Now, these cities are attempting to delay rezoning. They wrote to legislators and requested an extension for submitting compliant housing elements. The sole purpose of this is to avoid rezoning for new housing for as long as possible by dragging out the housing element update process. No extensions should be granted. Write to your legislators today and tell them to say no to this request!
