Dear City Council, Staff and City Attorney Jensen,
I have several questions regarding the Staff Report and the Presentation. I hope they can be
addressed during this Study Session:
1. The City has had this document for a month. Who has seen it/reviewed it?
a. What are their thoughts?
2. What does this “Draft Housing Element” document contain (received Oct. 11, 2022 from
EMC)?
a. Does it contain General Plan Policies?
b. Does it contain General Plan Strategies?
c. Does it contain General Plan Programs?
d. Does it contain the EIR document?
e. What else does it contain?
2. Would submitting the Draft HE by January 31, 2023 satisfy the deadline requirement?
a. Isn’t the deadline requirement for certification, not submittal?
4. After the 30-day public comment period on the Draft Housing Element, there’s a 10-day
response period.
a. Will “responses” result in modifications/changes prior to submittal to HCD?
b. What are valid responses to these public comments?
c. Will “responses” be just “comment received”?
5. What are the PROs and CONs of the 2 alternatives:
a. OPTION1- Submit current Draft HE to HCD, as-is
i. Does “as-is” mean no changes after 30-day public comment?
b. OPTION2-Let new consultant revise Draft HE
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin
