CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake Planning Commission and Clearlake City Council are planning a workshop on the city's housing element update on Tuesday evening.
The special joint meeting will convene at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
The workshop will consider the 2014-19 housing element update, and take public comment on the current plan.
City Manager Joan Phillipe's report to the council explained that the housing element is one of seven mandated elements that comprise the general plan, and must be updated every five years.
It's a policy document that provides an assessment of housing characteristics and needs in the community, and establishes programs to improve housing to meet those needs, according to Phillipe's report.
The city is seeking comment from the public and from various affected public agencies on housing information and policies that are contained in the city's current housing element, which covers the years 2009 to 2014, Phillipe said.
No action by the commission and council is anticipated on Tuesday. Rather, Phillipe's report indicated that the public comments will be used to create a draft update to the housing element, which the council and commission will review as the process continues.
