Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether Government Code Section 65585 requires that the proposed draft to come back to Council for review, public comments and changes prior to being submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) or whether staff will submit the draft after the current Council meeting. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director responded the Code does not require Council to approve the draft Housing Element (HE) prior to sending it to HCD; the Code section does require that the City consider all comments received and make any necessary changes prior to submitting to HCD; the State requirement has the City draft its HE, provide the public 30 days to review, consider public comments, make any necessary changes, and then submit it to HCD for review; once the HCD review has occurred, the HE is brought back to the Planning Board and City Council; Council can consider HCD and Planning Board comments to make a final decision; Council could decide to add a step and have the matter return prior to being sent to HCD; the real discussion will occur once HCD review is complete and decisions will need to be made; the HCD review is an important part of the process; there is opportunity for public hearings and Council decision once HCD review occurs.
