Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, requires cities and counties to prepare and adopt a general plan for their jurisdictions that contains certain mandatory elements, including a housing element. Existing law requires the housing element to include, among other things, an inventory of land suitable for residential development and to make adequate provision for the existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community. Existing law states legislative findings declaring that the preservation and enhancement of opportunities for home ownership are beneficial to the well-being and prosperity of the people of the state.
