Revised Draft Housing Element- May 23.2022
The revised draft Housing Element is now available for public review and comment! The draft Housing Element will be submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) after the 14-day review period closes. The Draft Housing Element and technical report can be found below. Please submit your comments for consideration by Monday, June 6, 2022 . You may submit your comments via e-mail at PlanningCommissionComments@lus.sbcounty.gov or via mail to Land Use Services 385 N. Arrowhead Avenue, 1st floor, San Bernardino CA, 92415.
While state law requires the draft Housing Element to be made available for public review for 7 days, the County is extending the public review time to 14 days to give interested residents and stakeholders additional time to review and submit comments and questions. This May 2022 version of the draft Housing Element replaces the previous December 2021 version. To facilitate public review, changes from the December 2021 version are tracked, with new content marked with underlines and deleted content shown as strikethrough. Minor grammatical corrections or other superficial or minor nonsubstantive changes may not be marked.

Development Code Update
Now that the Countywide Plan has been adopted we have turned our attention towards implementation starting with updating the Development Code. As you may already know, an implementation plan was adopted along with the Countywide Plan. A major feature of the Development Code is a new zoning map which will ensure zones are consistent with recently adopted land use designations. Additional changes to the text are also being made so the code is easier to understand and use. If you would like to receive direct notifications, availability of draft documents and other updates and opportunities for participation regarding the Development Code Update, go here to subscribe.
Countywide Plan After five years of analysis and public engagement, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Countywide Plan—a new set of plans and tools that go well beyond a traditional general plan for its unincorporated communities, which complements and informs the Countywide Vision for all.
