to achieve the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) numbers
which Mr. Spondello noted none are needed at this time; 2) keeping the
Census data consistent in the Housing Element and incorporating the 2020
Census data as it becomes available to ensure the City's data is accurately
reflected in the 2020 Census and using current, available statistics of our
County, local school district and colleges; 3) the Housing Element is being

arise under different circumstances; 5) in tables 4-23 and 4-33 be mindful
about access to parking when concentrated density is built; 6) the Housing
Element will implement the RHNA over the next eight-year period and
