Final Approval of County Housing Plan by the Board of Supervisors. Next Stop, the State!

On June 11th, the Board of Supervisors approved the county plan to increase affordable housing and forwarded it to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for final review.


To recap:

The originally proposed number of 10,000 units was reduced to less than 5,000 county-wide. Some sites were eliminated, others modified, and new ones added. Each was thoughtfully discussed. For the location of the sites in the Carmel Valley, please refer to the County's Map. 

Approved Opportunity Sites include Sites 24, 25. 26, 30, 40, 44, 45 and 47. Sites 23, 27, 28 and 29 will be included under the Builder's Remedy Application option, which allows expedited approval. Previously proposed sites 46, 48, and 49, all located on the hillsides across from the Middle School were eliminated. The board asked staff to consider the following sites which were recommended by an audience member: 3785 Via Nona Marie, 10 Flight Rd. and 9560 Center Street.


Good work, Planners and Supervisors, and hopefully, the state will agree!

Here are the proposed sites in lower and mid Carmel Valley
