Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration said the Orange County city of Huntington Beach will allow for more affordable housing if it adopts a proposed plan.
A letter from the California Department of Housing and Community Development to the city of Huntington Beach on Jan. 10, 2020., arguing that the city backtracked on its plans to zone for affordable housing along the city’s primary commercial corridors and never took action to replace the planned residential density elsewhere in the city, as required by law.
Huntington Beach’s planning commission is scheduled to consider the proposal on Tuesday. Should the city ultimately agree, the central issue in the state’s lawsuit will be resolved, said Russ Heimerich, a spokesman with the California Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency.“The lawsuit against Huntington Beach is about them not being in compliance,” Heimerich said. “If they come into compliance, the lawsuit would likely become moot.
