SUBJECT: HOUSING LAW AND POLICY FORUM OVERVIEW
The City Council invites the community to participate in the Housing Law and Policy Forum
(“Forum”) on Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. at the Ludwick Community Center. The
Forum will cover a wide range of housing issues including an overview of existing and
upcoming State housing legislation, facts about the State/local housing crisis, density bonus law,
and housing policy in the City.
Council Members will intermix with community members and will have the opportunity to have
group discussions on the topics discussed. During the presentation, staff will break for table
discussion focused around three main questions:
1. How is the housing crisis affecting you?
2. Are the State laws discussed appropriate under the circumstances, or do they take away
too much local control?
3. What are some solutions or ideas to address the need for affordable housing in San Luis
Obispo?
A special presentation by Dave Mullinax from the League of California Cities will focus on the
State’s current housing approach, the status of the Governor’s by-right housing proposals, and
relevant updates from Sacramento regarding future housing legislation.
The evening will conclude with a brief public testimony period for any final comments. The
Forum is planned to conclude by 8:00 p.m.
