Housing Element Update
The City of Newark is updating the Housing Element of the General Plan, as is required by state law. The Housing Element describes and guides each city’s approach to housing programs and new developments. A draft housing element has been prepared, and links to the housing element draft and related documents, including the Environmental Impact Report, are below.
Newark’s process for developing a Housing Element has involved four community meetings, on September 24, 2008, October 8, 2008, January 21, 2009, and August 27, 2009 in addition to meetings with the Planning Commission and City Council in February and an additional meeting with the Planning Commission in July 2009. Information from those meetings is provided below.
