ANAHEIM PLANNING DEPT. SEEKS RESIDENT INPUT FOR HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE

ANAHEIM, Calif. (March 18, 2013) Anaheim residents are invited to attend upcoming meetings to learn about the City’s Housing Element Update and to offer input on what is important to both their specific neighborhoods and the City as a whole.

The need for all forms of housing in the City will be discussed, including single family homes, apartments and senior housing at both market rate and affordable levels. The Housing Element is one of seven State-mandated elements of the City’s General Plan. Under State law, the Housing Element helps ensure that cities adopt land use plans and regulations that encourage housing development that meets local needs, and provides the framework to address the existing and projected housing needs of the community.

“The loud noise torments some of the neighbors, forcing them to put thick windows to block the noise or move away from the city. After many complaints to the city of Anaheim, there seems no way out,” according to the Magical Theme Park blog. Continue reading→
