Yorba Linda 2021-2029 Housing Element Implementation Programs

The City of Yorba Linda is implementing the 2021-2029 Housing Element Programs, which include the development of the Duvall Estates project. This project consists of an 82-unit detached single-family residential community situated on approximately 19.6 acres. The scope of work encompasses all associated site improvements, infrastructure, landscaping, and open space, as well as the necessary regulatory approvals including Tentative Tract Map No.19468, a Conditional Use Permit, Variance, and Design Review. The project was approved on August 26, 2026, with a Notice of Determination filed on August 28, 2026, confirming compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report. Broadly, these efforts are part of a larger initiative to modify the General Plan and General Plan Map, specifically the Land Use Element and Land Use Diagram. This includes rezoning 27 opportunity sites through amendments to the Zoning Code and Zoning Ordinance Map, as well as the adoption of housing overlay zones to allow for additional housing units. The implementation is based on the Housing Element approved by the State Department of Housing and Community Development and involves the adoption of specific ordinances and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to ensure environmental and regulatory compliance.
