The intent of this effort is to address <br />recent changes in State law that seek to streamline and increase housing production, focused <br />on making approval processes more routine and predictable for developers by creating <br />objective standards in lieu of discretionary review. <br />Accordingly, this effort is divided into two components: <br />•Update to the 2012 Housing DG to modify subjective standards to be objective, and to, <br />in the future, include sites that are rezoned as part of the current (6th Cycle) Housing <br />Element Update; and <br />•Establish objective standards for other types of residential development. <br />EXHIBIT C
