Public Review Draft

The Revised Public Review Draft of Laguna Hills' 2021-2029 Housing Element Update, dated December 21, 2021, is available for download here [7mb].

Overview

The City of Laguna Hills General Plan Housing Element is a mandatory General Plan element that identifies housing policies and programs aimed at meeting the identified housing needs of the City's current and anticipated future population. The General Plan Housing Element is required by state law to be updated every eight years. Housing Elements must include a housing plan to accommodate a predetermined "fair share" allocation of housing units, at various income levels, determined by the state through a Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) process. The City of Laguna Hills RHNA allocation for the 6th Housing Cycle, covering 2021-2029, is 1,985 new housing units. The City requests input from residents to determine how and where to best plan for the housing units allocated to the City.
