that adequately facilitates the improvement and development of housing to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. As the official housing
policy document for local governments (and one of the mandatory elements of the General Plan) a Housing Element analyzes existing housing conditions, describes existing and future housing
needs, and identifies opportunities for improving and expanding the City’s housing supply. The City has been working with GRC Associates in preparing a draft Housing Element for the
period 2008 – 2014. After numerous discussions with the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and revisions to the Housing Element, HCD has conditionally approved
Rosemead’s Housing Element. HCD indicated in their letter dated April 16, 2012 that the revised draft Housing Element will comply with State Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the
Government Code) when adopted and submitted to HCD, pursuant to Section 65585(g). Upon Planning Commission approval and City Council adoption of the Housing Element, HCD will certify
Rosemead’s Housing Element. RESOLUTION NO. 12-07 -A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD APPROVING THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD HOUSING ELEMENT 2008-2014 AND NEGATIVE
