Environmental Comments Sought On Massive Re-Zoning Program

By JANE REIFER on October 7, 2023 • ( 1 Comment )

In an effort to provide for Fullerton’s approximately 7,500 California state-required units of affordable housing, the City of Fullerton is starting a Housing Incentive Overlay Zone (HIOZ) Program to streamline development approvals on 759 parcels, allowing housing in areas currently zoned non-residential. (see full HIOZ: Initial Study: Fullerton Housing Incentive Overlay Zone Program

This would accommodate 35,611 units of new housing, an over 75% increase in Fullerton’s existing housing stock.

Comments are being accepted until the close of business on October 9th regarding what a draft Environment Impact Report should address.
