B. The Housing Concept
The central goal of the Housing Element is to preserve neighborhood quality while improving housing opportunities for all residents. To accomplish this, the Element:
♦ Promotes neighborhood quality through the continuation of the existing residential land use pattern, and through the application of standards where infill development occurs to ensure compatibility.
♦ Promotes an adequate supply and variety of residential densities and housing types.
♦ Addresses the need for special needs housing and housing affordable at every income level.
♦ The City should track its progress toward meeting these goals and consider additional tools or strategies if appropriate progress is not being made.
