BAGKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi Housing Element is part of the City's General Plan, which is a comprehensive policy statement regarding the physical, economic, and social development of the city; the preservation and conservation of natural and human features of the landscape, and the re-use of land and buildings within the city. Although housing represents a high priority, planning for housing must be balanced with the community's economic needs and environmental, resource, and open space protection policies, which are also essential aspects of the City's General Plan. Whereas general plans often reflect planning periods 15-25 years long, housing elements are updated every five to eight years, in accordance with State law. The San Joaquin Council of Governments has completed the Regional Housing Needs Assessment, which is the precursor for state-mandated updates of all Housing Elements. The new assessment provides the framework necessary to proceed with a new Housing Element for the General Plan Update. As a recipient of funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City of Lodi is required to conduct an Analysis of lmpediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al) and to periodically review that analysis and update it as necessary. The Al provides a detailed look into the fair housing environment in the City of Lodi. More specifically, this document includes an analysis of local factors that may impact fair housing choice, the identification of specific impediments to fair housing choice, and a plan to address those impediments. As part of its ongoing responsibilities as a recipient of HUD funds, the City of Lodi must also continuously assure equal access to services and programs it provides or assists in the community While the Housing Element and the Al are two separate documents, the fact that they are both due around the same time and that they involve some of the very same data and research, it made sense to have them prepared simultaneously and therefore a Request for Proposals was released on August 11,2014.
