This proposal addresses a commitment made in the 2003 Housing Element to rezone land sufficient to accommodate the City's share of the regional housing need, and is consistent with General Plan discussions and adopted policies which encourage the development of mixed use and residential densities that support affordable housing and transit in Hacienda. Furthermore, the rezonings address litigation filed by the Urban Habitat Program, wherein the City has stated its intention to complete the rezonings as soon as possible following the adoption of the General Plan. The rezonings are being proposed ahead of a comprehensive modification of the Hacienda PUD which will commence later this year, and which will define a new vision for mixed use, transit oriented development in the Business Park.
