- AMulti-Jurisdictional Housing Element
- Location: Citywide Applicant: City of Fresno California housing element law requires every jurisdiction to prepare and adopt a housing element every 8 years as part of their required general plans. The purpose of the Housing Element is to ensure planning for safe, decent and affordable housing for all city residents. The City of Fresno prepared its own housing element for the current housing element in 2016. At the same time, 13 of Fresno County's 16 jurisdictions, with help from the Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG), prepared a multi-jurisdictional housing element that was very well received by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the state agency responsible for certifying housing elements. The City's Housing Element will need to be updated by December of 2023. FCOG jurisdictions have come together to embark on another multijurisdictional effort, and this time, the City Council directed that the City of Fresno participate in that effort due to cost, time and resource savings, and for the opportunity to collaborate regionally on housing. The Multi-jurisdictional Housing Element update is now underway, and the goal of the presentation is to provide information about the update and prepare the committee to consider the updated Housing Element.

Meeting disruption policy

Meetings are conducted so everyone — in the room and watching or calling in remotely — can take part. A person who disrupts a meeting in person may be removed after a warning. Under California SB 707, if a service disruption within the City’s control cuts off the public’s ability to participate remotely, the body takes no further action on agenda items and recesses for at least one hour while staff make a good-faith effort to restore access; the meeting resumes only once remote access is back.
