Danville Residents Asked To Identify Potential Housing Spots

DANVILLE, CA — Beginning in March, Danville residents can identify spots in town where they think new housing can be accommodated.

Per state law, Danville must complete a Housing Element policy document that identifies where and how the town will build a minimum of 2,241 new homes. The town is mandated to establish sites for these new homes, regardless of available land capacity, for the upcoming 2023-31 planning period.

As part of a public outreach period, Danville residents will be able to drop pins online in spots where they believe new housing could be built. The Housing Site Suggestion Map will open in March and April.

Community members can learn how to use this Housing Site Suggestion Map at any of the following “Housing 201” Workshops:

• Wednesday, March 9 @ 6:00 PM (Zoom)
• Thursday, March 17 @ 6:00 PM (Zoom)
• Saturday, March 26, 10:00 AM – 12:00 noon (in-person, Veterans Memorial Building)
• Monday, March 28 @ 12:00 noon (Zoom), co-hosted with the Danville Area Chamber of Commerce

Suggested sites will be evaluated against the California Department of Housing and Community Development site criteria, and used to inform a list of potential housing sites in the next phase of the update effort.
