The 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) the General Rule or Common Sense Exemption.

Every eight years, each California city and county must update the Housing Element of their General Plan and have it certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The Housing Element is a policy document that identifies Dunsmuir’s existing and future housing needs and establishes proposed actions to facilitate the provision of housing to meet those needs at all income levels. The Housing Element describes housing needs and includes an analysis of constraints to housing production. The City has released a Public Review Draft of the 2023-2031 Housing Element that recommends goals, policies and implementation programs intended to address these housing needs and constraints, and comply with State housing law during the eight-year plan period. Public comment received to date has also been considered in the draft. The Public Review Draft of the 2023-2031 Housing Element can be read and downloaded at http://www.ci.dunsmuir.ca.us/news and https://www.siskiyou-housing.com/dunsmuir/ .A paper copy of the Public Review Draft are available for review at Dunsmuir City Hall (located at 5902 Dunsmuir Ave., Dunsmuir).
