Planning Commission and City Council meetings on the
Public Review Draft Housing Element

In April 2023, the City held meetings with the Planning Commission and City Council to review and discuss the Public Review Draft Housing Element. Information on each event, including the agenda and staff report, are included below. 

Next Steps: 

The City must take 10 business days to revise the Public Review Draft to respond to comments from the public, Planning Commission, and City Council. Following this revision period, the City will submit the updated Housing Element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for initial review. HCD has 90-days to review and provide comments on the Housing Element. 

Please note: comments on the Housing Element can be submitted at any time by using the green "Comments" button on the right side of this website.

Thank you for providing your input on Environmental Justice!

In January 2023, the City of Lompoc held two community events to gather input from residents about environmental justice and issues facing the Lompoc community. Input gathered through these community events will guide the goals, policies, and programs drafted in the Environmental Justice Element. Check back here regularly for updates on the drafting of the Environmental Justice Element.

 On Saturday, January 21, 2023, the Project Team had a pop-up booth at the Lompoc Outdoor Community Market between 9am and 12pm and gathered surveys about residents' lived experiences in Lompoc.

On Monday, January 30, 2023, the Project Team held an Environmental Justice Element Community Workshop at Lompoc High School to discuss assets, issues, and opportunities in Lompoc. 

Throughout January the environmental justice survey was available online for community members to provide input on various topics related to environmental justice.

Housing Needs Survey Results

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Housing Needs Survey! The Housing Needs Survey helped collect information about local demand for different types of housing, concerns regarding housing access, and ways for the City to reduce constraints to housing production. The Housing Needs Survey was open for 41 days between August 16, 2022 and September 26, 2022.

The survey results highlighted that supply of homes and cost of housing, for both rentals and ownership options, are the main barriers to housing access in Lompoc. The survey results also reflected present demand for more rental units and homes available for purchase. Among the various types of housing options offered, small multifamily complexes, such as triplexes and fourplexes, were the housing type of choice for increasing the housing stock among survey respondents.

Housing Element Workshop #1

Thank you for joining us for the first Housing Element community workshop held on Thursday, August 18, 2022 at City Council Chambers. The workshop provided an introduction to the Housing Element and Technical General Plan Update, summarized key steps in the process, and sought public input on housing issues and distinct economic, social, and geographic housing needs. The workshop was held in an open house format with multiple stations including display posters and interactive activities designed to encourage community input.
