Sorry for this late breaking alert:
We have just learned that the Council will vote on the "Housing Element of the General Plan" tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. Below is current and proposed language regarding the use of public lands for housing.
As proposed, the Housing Element could seriously threaten county park property by making it available for housing.
If you can attend the vote at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow, please do so.The old Housing Element objective 4. H. provided that "Designate government-owned land, other than parkland, that meets appropriate housing site selection criteria for future housing development. See that page of the plan here.
The new Housing Element, as proposed by the PHED Committee, says at 2.13 "Provide underused and strategically located surplus public properties for housing that includes housing affordable to low and moderate income households at a higher percentage than required in the MPDU program." See that page of the plan here.
Please email or call the Council to ask them to reinsert the "other than parkland" language.
or call 240.777.7907- Leave a message for the full council with the receptionist
