Housing Element Update and Residential Overlay (Housing Opportunity District)

Rialto

Description

The state-mandated sixth-cycle housing element plans for 8,272 units with a 15,263-unit site inventory, including new residential overlays on ~159 acres in Foothill Central and ~20 acres in Gateway. Staff removed some commercial parcels after the last meeting's pushback.

Impact summary

Roughly 179 acres of commercially zoned land gain residential overlay capacity at a minimum of 20 units per acre, shaping where housing — and potential redevelopment of shopping centers — could occur over the next planning cycle.
