Subject:

Receive and file the 2022 Annual Progress Report on the status of the General Plan.  (Action Item)

Date:3/14/2023

OBJECTIVE

For the City Council to receive and file the 2022 Annual Progress Report on the Status of the General Plan.

BACKGROUND

The City is required by the State to submit an annual report, no later than April 1st, on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation to their legislative bodies, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the Housing and Community Development (HCD).

DISCUSSION

The annual report primarily focuses on the calendar year 2022, which includes approved projects, ordinances adopted, and programs implemented.  Additionally, the previous year's residential development activity and programs for providing housing is included in the report.  The report also covers the Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) for the 2021-2029 planning period.  California General Plan law requires each city and county to accommodate its fair share of the regional housing needs.  As determined by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), Garden Grove’s fair share allocation is 19,168 new housing units during this planning cycle.  This report shows the City’s progress on meeting its RHNA.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no financial impact.
RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Receive and file the 2022 Annual Progress Report on the Status of the General Plan; and

 

  • Authorize staff to transmit the annual Report to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, and the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
