City Seeks Community Input on the General Plan Housing Element Update
|
The City of San Ramon has begun the process
of updating the Housing Element of
the City’s General Plan to ensure the
City is prepared to meet the future
housing needs for the community.
For the 2023-2031 Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) cycle, the City of San Ramon is required to identify where 5,000+ additional housing units could be located throughout the City. Of the 5,000+ additional housing units, 61% (3,000+ units) must be affordable to lower income households.
As an initial opportunity for public input, the Community Development Department invites the public to use the interactive map below to identify the top three areas where you would like to see additional housing focused.
Additional opportunities for community input will be available through 2022.
- In order to plan for the estimated 5,000 housing units required by the State of California (final numbers to be confirmed by December 2021), multiple housing types such as duplexes, apartments, and condominiums may be used.
- Units are not credited towards fulfilling a city’s RHNA until the unit is under construction. Approved developments such as the 4,500-unit CityWalk project located in Bishop Ranch are often phased over a long period of time (25+ years), meaning only a portion of these projects will count towards meeting our 2023-2031 RHNA obligation.
How to Share Your Thoughts:
- No login is needed. Simply click the ‘house’ icon in the upper right corner to begin adding housing locations to the map. Each user can add up to three housing locations by clicking the location on the map (within the urban growth boundary) where you would prefer additional housing be incorporated into the City’s General Plan. Once you have clicked the map to add a housing location, this location can not be deleted or edited.
- Housing cannot be planned in designated Open Space or Flood Zones, Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts (GHAD)/Conservation Easements, or outside the City’s Urban Growth Boundary. These areas have been delineated on the map. Housing could potentially be planned in other zones where existing residential and commercial uses exist.
- Each user can also support housing locations added by others. Click on the blue "thumbs up" icon to support an existing location. There is no limit on the number of locations a user can support.
- A desktop computer is recommended for navigating and adding housing locations to the map.
