The City of Fillmore would like to invite you to attend the third in a series of public workshops regarding the City’s Housing Element. The third workshop will be conducted jointly with the Planning Commission and City Council on Wednesday, September 25, 2013, beginning at 6:30 p.m., in the CITY OF FILLMORE COUNCIL CHAMBERS located at 250 CENTRAL AVENUE.

Housing is one of seven mandatory elements of the City’s General Plan and consists of an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs along with a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives, financial resources, and scheduled programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing. Housing is unique among the other General Plan Elements insofar as State law requires that it must be updated at designated intervals.

The third workshop is being held as part of an ongoing Housing Element Update process dating back to 2008 and will cover the following topics: (i) status of the current adopted Housing Element; (ii) goals, policies and programs proposed to address identified needs; and (iii) land use strategies to accommodate the City’s assigned share of future regional growth. Upon adoption, the updated Housing Element will cover a planning period from October 1, 2013 through September 31, 2021.

The primary goal of the third workshop is to receive feedback on key policy issues that will enable preparation and circulation of a draft Housing Element for further public review. Upon receipt of additional comment, adoption hearings will be conducted by the Planning Commission and City Council during the December 2013 – January 2014 timeframe. Additional notice will be provided when specific hearing dates have been determined.
