The non-profit Californians for Homeownership accused the cities of violating state law by failing to adopt a certified “housing element.”
A non-profit group affiliated with the California Association of Realtors sued six cities in Los Angeles and Orange counties this week for failing to meet an Oct. 15 deadline to have an approved plan to meet their housing needs for the rest of the decade.
California municipalities are required under state housing laws to revise the “housing elements” of their general plans at least once every eight years to ensure they have enough land zoned to accommodate their state-mandated housing targets at all income levels. “These initial lawsuits focused on the cities that were the most behind in the process, appeared the most recalcitrant, and/or failed to engage with us when we approached them,” Gelfand said in an email. “We do anticipate litigation against additional cities, but we … are hoping that other cities will be spurred to move forward with the process in a more productive way than they have been to date.
Some local cities have seen dramatic increases in their state-mandated housing targets, with some facing requirements they increase their housing stock by 35% or more by the end of the decade. Among the revisions were new rules requiring greater analysis showing proposed housing sites could feasibly be redeveloped by 2030, especially for sites proposed for low-income housing.
