File Number: 20-223 <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />The Consolidated Plan addresses the goals of the current General Plan Housing Element, such <br />as increasing the supply of affordable for-sale and rental housing, providing opportunities for <br />home ownership, preserving and rehabilitating existing affordable owner-occupied and rental <br />housing, and addressing special needs populations. <br />Environmental Review <br />If applicable, National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality <br />Act (CEQA), the latter when applicable, review will be conducted for each project or activity <br />approved by the City Council. Neither NEPA nor CEQA apply to the FY 2020-2024 Consolidated <br />Plan and FY 2020-21 Action Plan because the approval of the plans have no environmental <br />impact. <br />Summary of Public Outreach Efforts <br />In accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, which is required under the Consolidated <br />Plan, a Public Notice of this Public Hearing and the Public Comment Period was published in the <br />East Bay Daily Review on June 5, 2020.
