Regarding: Notice of Public Hearing
Proposal: Zoning Ordinance Amendment – Regional Housing Needs Assessment Overlay Zone
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission of the City of Los Banos will conduct a public hearing to
consider recommending to the Los Banos City Council of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to the Los Banos Municipal Code to add a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) Overlay Zone.
The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to implement the City's Sixth Cycle Housing Element (2023–2031) by
establishing zoning provisions that facilitate the development of housing to meet the City's share of the regional housing needs allocation. The RHNA Overlay Zone would identify specific areas within the City where additional residential
development opportunities are encouraged and would establish standards and procedures to support the production of housing across all income levels.
A PUBLIC HEARING on this matter will be held at the next scheduled meeting of the Los Banos Planning Commission on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of Los Banos City Hall located at 520 "J" Street. Questions regarding the above-referenced item may be directed to Stacy Souza Elms, Community and Economic
Development Director, at City Hall or at (209) 827-2433.
All persons are invited to be present at the public hearing. Written and oral testimony is invited.
