The County Housing Element is a component of the County General Plan that primarily addresses housing matters for the unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County. Under State law, the Housing Element must be updated on an eight-year cycle, which is overseen by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
The County Housing Element is currently being updated for the sixth cycle, which encompasses the 2023-2031 planning period. The fourth draft of the updated Housing Element, along with its appendices, are now available for public review and may be accessed below.
The County prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Housing Element Update (HEU) and the Stanford Community Plan Update, which was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on October 17, 2023.
The County prepared Zoning Ordinance amendments related to the HEU which were adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December 12, 2023.
