COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 03/17/2020
ITEM NO: 2
DATE: March 11, 2020
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Annual Progress Report for General Plan and Housing Element
Implementation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the Annual Progress Report for General Plan and Housing Element implementation.
BACKGROUND:
Government Code Section 65400 mandates that cities and counties submit an annual report on
the status of their General Plan and any progress in its implementation to their legislative
bodies. Annual Progress Reports (APRs) must be presented to the local legislative body for its
review and acceptance, usually as a consent or discussion item on a regular meeting agenda.
After review and acceptance, a copy of the APR is required to be filed with the Governor’s
Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Housing and Community Development
Department (HCD).
There is no standardized form or format for the preparation of the General Plan APR. The
attached APR meets the statutory requirements of State law and highlights key aspects of the
Town’s General Plan and Housing Element implementation during the calendar year of 2019
(Attachment 1). Given the State requirements, Exhibit A of Attachment 1 contains a significant
amount of data. For enhanced readability, Exhibit A might be best reviewed electronically to
adjust to the individual reader’s needs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact from accepting the APR.
