Prior to altering an existing utility system, facility, or permanent building within a park, you must obtain a Permit to Construct from the enforcement agency. Where HCD is the enforcement agency, an Application for Permit to Construct, form HCD MP 50, must be submitted (by mail, through the C&S Online Services portal, or in person) to HCD and accompanied by appropriate plans depicting the proposed construction project and the prescribed fees.
Plan(s) must be drawn to scale and be of sufficient clarity to indicate the nature and extent of the construction proposed. Provide detailed drawings conforming to the provisions of the California Code of Regulations, title 25, chapter 2, and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations.
Government Code (GC) Section 65583(a)(3) requires local governments to prepare an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having the potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites. That inventory must identify specific sites or parcels that are available for residential development.
Housing elements will be logged for review on the business date received. Housing elements received after business hours will be logged for review on the next business day.
To submit a housing element to HCD, local governments have the following options:
Individuals and families are directly affected by each jurisdiction’s ability to plan for the housing needs of those who will live, work, and play in every community.
If your environmental review contains environmental mitigation, the Responsible Entity must document that the mitigation measures have been correctly implemented. This may include preparing an Environmental Monitoring Desk Review Checklist or an Environmental Monitoring On-Site Review Checklist.
The Environmental Review Record (ERR) is extremely important because (1) it is proof that you have completed the environmental review process and (2) an incomplete ERR could result in loss of funding. The ERR is a living set of documents and must contain a well-organized written record of the process and determinations made throughout the review. The ERR may need to be updated even after the environmental review has been completed. The ERR must be available for inspection.
The ERR must contain the environmental review, plus the following:
After the level of environmental review has been determined, the next step is to complete the environmental review document. If you have any questions related to the environmental review process, you may contact the HCD Environmental Services Team.
