General Plan Housing Element Update (HEU) 2021![]()
The County is in the process of updating the Housing Element, which is one of the seven mandatory elements of El Dorado County's General Plan.
This update is for the 8-year planning period 2021 to 2029. The County has contracted with PlaceWorks, Inc. to assist with this effort which is anticipated to be completed by May 2021.
State law requires that the County prepare and adopt an update to the Housing Element and related environmental documents every eight years. This update includes a review of the County's ability to accommodate its fair share of the region's housing needs for the 8-year planning period 2021 to 2029, based on the updated Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) determined by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG).
The 2021-2029 Housing Element provides an update of the County's housing inventory using the General Plan land use designation; a review of the goals, policies, financial resources, and necessary revisions to implement measures to reflect changes in local, state and federal law, along with a review of the success in meeting the goals and objectives. This effort will result in modifications to the current adopted
2013-2021 Housing Element to address the changing needs of County residents as well as changes to State housing law.
This website provides up-to-date information on the Housing Element Update process. It will provide you with information on upcoming community workshops, meetings, documents prepared for the Housing Element Update, and opportunities to be involved in the process and provide feedback.
