Lake Forest to hold Two Important Housing Updates

The City of Lake Forest is holding two important events regarding housing in the next couple of weeks that you won’t want to miss. First is the final update on the Opportunities Study and the second is a Housing Element meeting.

The Opportunities study.

• Monday March 31^st @ 7:00 pm @ Portola Hills Elementary School 19422 Saddleback Ranch Road, Lake Forest
• Monday April 14^th @7:00 pm @ El Toro High School, 25255 Toledo Way, Lake Forest

This study was undertaken to take advantage of an opportunity to re-zone nearly 800 acres of vacant land on six properties in Lake Forest. It's the last opportunity for the city to shape what future development will look like, so the City is taking a proactive role in looking at the features residents have said they want most.

2008 Housing Element:

• March 27, 2008 @ 7:00pm @ Lake Forest City Hall
• April 1, 2008 @7:00 pm @ Lake Forest City Hall

The Housing Element is a meeting required by state law that requires the city to provide a general update every five years. These meetings cover the years from 2006-2014. At these meetings, the Planning Commission and City County will review the Draft 2008 Housing Element prior to submittal of the document for review by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

I am a firm believer; the community you live in is what you make it! Make sure to attend these important meetings to ensure your views are considered.
