EXHIBIT H <br />Jennifer Wallis <br />From: GEORGE Bowen <br />Sent: Friday, August 01, 2014 9:00 AM <br />To: Jennifer Wallis <br />Subject: Re: Housing Element Update Community Workshop - Review Draft Housing Element <br />HI Jennifer. <br />I have spent considerable time reviewing the Housing Element and comparing it to other cities' <br />Housing Elements. I can see similar programs that appear to be in all that I have seen, so I figure <br />these are required by HCD. <br />The exception is Program 1.1. <br />CURRENT LANGUAGE: Which currently reads: Discourage the redesignation of areas <br />designated for High Density Residential development. The objective of this program is to <br />ensure that adequate sites are available to accommodate the City's regional housing need for <br />all income levels. <br />PROPOSED LANGUAGE: Program 1.1 "Maintain the designation of areas designated for High <br />Density Residential development that are required to accommodate the City's regional <br />housing needs for all income levels." <br />This subtle change would allow the city to redesignate areas that are part of the excess inventory, so <br />lang that we do not drop below our RHNA requirement. <br />Thanks for your consideration on this small, but substantive change. <br />George Bowen <br />
