General Plan Amendment No. 2023-14 - 6th Cycle Housing Element

The City of Oakdale is preparing to advance its 6th Cycle Housing Element through a General Plan Amendment designated as No. 2023-14, aimed at aligning local land use policies with state housing requirements. This initiative involves updating the Land Use Element of the General Plan to ensure compliance with regulatory mandates, identify housing needs, and outline strategies for the development of affordable, moderate, and market-rate housing across the city. The project is forecasted for implementation and is being managed under the oversight of the City’s Public Services Department and contracted planning professionals, with primary contacts including Michael Arroyo, Mark Niskanen, and Jeff Gravel, who are responsible for coordinating planning efforts and public engagement. The work will be performed in Oakdale, California, with all official correspondence and updates directed through the provided contact information. While no formal solicitation number or NAICS code has been assigned, the project is listed as a forecast with a posted date of June 19, 2026, indicating it is in the pre-procurement phase. The planning process will involve community input, data analysis, and policy revisions necessary to meet California’s housing element certification standards. The project’s success depends on comprehensive engagement with stakeholders, thorough housing need assessments, and the creation of realistic, implementable goals to address current and projected housing shortages within the community. The official project page can be accessed through the CEQA Net website for further details and documentation as they become available.
