Background Information:
On October 8, 2025, The Department of Housing and Community Development Division of Housing Policy Development notified the Tehama County Planning Department that “The revised draft element, including revisions, meets the statutory requirements, described in HCD’s June 9, 2025, review. However, the housing element cannot be found in substantial compliance until the County has completed program HE-3.A (Housing and Vacant Inventory) to rezone sites to accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) pursuant to Government Code Section 65583, Subdivision(c)(1) and 65583.2, subdivision(c), (h), and (i).”
