4, PUBLIC HEARING
A. City of Rosemead Housing Element 2008 — 2014
State housing law requires local governments to adopt a Housing Element 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(8).
This item was presented to the Planning Commission for consideration on May 7, 2012. At
that hearing, the Planning Commission reviewed the draft Housing Element. No members of
the public testified for or against the draft Housing Element. At the conclusion of the hearing,
the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No 12 -07 approving the City of Rosemead
Housing Element 2008 -2014 and Negative Declaration; and recommended that the City
Council adopt the City of Rosemead Housing Element 2008 -2014 and authorize submittal to
HCD for State certification. Upon City Council adoption of the Housing Element, HCD will
certify Rosemead's Housing Element.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2012 -17, entitled
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD HOUSING ELEMENT 2008.2014 AND NEGATIVE
DECLARATION, AND AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL TO
THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUITY
