A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR
ACTIONS THAT WILL FURTHER STRENGTHEN LOCAL
GOVERNANCE AND AUTHORITY OVER HOUSING AND
LAND USE ISSUES IN HUNTINGTON BEACH
WHEREAS, the legislature of the State of California continues to propose a number of bills
addressing a range of housing issues at the local level; and
The majority of these bills propose broad, "one size fits all" policies that undermine the
authority of local governing bodies to determine land use policies and practices that best suit
their communities; and
The State has introduced numerous housing/land use related bills which impose broad
mandates which do not take into account the needs and differences of jurisdictions
throughout the State, and in so doing, imposes a variety of unfunded mandates on local
communities; and
It is of great importance to the City of Huntington Beach that we retain our ability to
determine for ourselves land use and housing related priorities over decisions that include,
but are not limited to, the following: determination of projects that require review beyond a
ministerial approval; identifying the appropriate parking requirements for various locales
within our City boundaries; the housing plans and programs that are suitable and practical for
our community; and other related matters; and
The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach feels strongly that our local
government is the agency that is best suited to assess the needs of our community, and the
City does not support the State's increasing efforts to deprive our City Council of self-
determination with regard to land use and housing matters.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
We support actions that strengthen local governance and authority over housing and
land use issues in Huntington Beach.
