Draft Housing Element, EIR, and General Plan Amendments Planning Commission 10 of 11 (e.g., no net loss (SB 166), Housing Crisis Act (SB 330), supportive housing, emergency shelters, etc.) and providing more specificity in terms of City actions. Appendix E - Public Participation Summaries: Summarizes community outreach and engagement meeting and surveys, with a particular focus on outreach to traditionally underrepresented groups. Additional outreach summaries are provided in Appendix F that are specific to Fair Housing. Appendix F - Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH): Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) is a new requirement for the 6th Cycle and is included based on a 2018 State law (AB 686).

Attachment 1 of Exhibit C outlines the General Plan Amendments. Finally, staff notes that other provisions of State law tie amendment or update of other General Plan elements, notably the Safety Element, to adoption of the Housing Element. Due to the accelerated timeframe for Housing Element adoption, it has not
