Public Input Requested: Housing Element Update - Public Hearing - Nov. 2nd
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Dunsmuir City Council will hold a Public Hearing on Thursday, November 2, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. in the City of Dunsmuir Council Chambers, 5902 Dunsmuir Ave., Dunsmuir, California, to received public comment, provide direction, and consider adoption of the 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element prior to submittal to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) the General Rule or Common Sense Exemption. Since no development or other physical change to the environment would be approved by Housing Element adoption, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Housing Element adoption may have a significant effect on the environment in the City of Dunsmuir.
Every eight years, each California city and county must update the Housing Element of their General Plan and have it certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The Housing Element is a policy document that identifies Dunsmuir’s existing and future housing needs and establishes proposed actions to facilitate the provision of housing to meet those needs at all income levels. The Housing Element describes housing needs and includes an analysis of constraints to housing production. The City has released a Public Review Draft of the 2023-2031 Housing Element that recommends goals, policies and implementation programs intended to address these housing needs and constraints, and comply with State housing law during the eight-year plan period. Public comment received to date has also been considered in the draft. The Public Review Draft of the 2023-2031 Housing Element can be read and downloaded at http://www.ci.dunsmuir.ca.us/news and https://www.siskiyou-housing.com/dunsmuir/ .A paper copy of the Public Review Draft are available for review at Dunsmuir City Hall (located at 5902 Dunsmuir Ave., Dunsmuir).
The Public Hearing will be held on Thursday, November 2, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. in the City of Dunsmuir Council Chambers, 5902 Dunsmuir Ave., Dunsmuir, California, at which time and place pertinent testimony will be heard.
Written comments may be submitted via email or mail. Send written comments via email to wperkins@ci.dunsmuir.ca.us, and please include “Dunsmuir Housing Element Update” in the email subject line.

Attention Dunsmuir Fuels Mitigation Participants
Dunsmuir Fuels Mitigation Project Participants! for those of you who agreed to participate in our Fuels Mitigation Project.
We are required to complete archaeology field surveys as part of the CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act). The CEQA activities have been underway with our contractor Vestra and now it’s time to begin the archeology field surveys. These will be starting on Monday, September 25 and will continue throughout the week. The archeological inventory for the project will be conducted by Alta Archaeological Consulting (ALTA). The survey is designed to meet the requirements of CEQA, and will include background research, Native American outreach, and field surveys.
During the week of September 25th you might see Alta’s surveyors walking around. They will not collect any objects, will not mark anything or cut any trees. The surveyors may take photos, measurements and digital map data of historical resources for our final report.
Thank you for signing up to participate.
Best,
Dunsmuir Fire Safe Committee
