Revised Draft Housing Element- May 23.2022
The revised draft Housing Element is now available for public review and comment! The draft Housing Element will be submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) after the 14-day review period closes. The Draft Housing Element and technical report can be found below. Please submit your comments for consideration by Monday, June 6, 2022 . You may submit your comments via e-mail at PlanningCommissionComments@lus.sbcounty.gov or via mail to Land Use Services 385 N. Arrowhead Avenue, 1st floor, San Bernardino CA, 92415.
While state law requires the draft Housing Element to be made available for public review for 7 days, the County is extending the public review time to 14 days to give interested residents and stakeholders additional time to review and submit comments and questions. This May 2022 version of the draft Housing Element replaces the previous December 2021 version. To facilitate public review, changes from the December 2021 version are tracked, with new content marked with underlines and deleted content shown as strikethrough. Minor grammatical corrections or other superficial or minor nonsubstantive changes may not be marked.

Development Code Update
Now that the Countywide Plan has been adopted we have turned
our attention towards implementation starting with updating the Development
Code. As you may already know, an implementation plan was adopted along with
the Countywide Plan. A major feature of the Development Code is a new
zoning map which will ensure zones are consistent with recently adopted land
use designations. Additional changes to the text are also being made so
the code is easier to understand and use. If you would like to receive
direct notifications, availability of draft documents and other updates and
opportunities for participation regarding the Development Code Update, go

Countywide Plan
After five years of analysis and public engagement, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Countywide Plan—a new set of plans and tools that go well beyond a traditional general plan for its unincorporated communities, which complements and informs the Countywide Vision for all.

Joshua trees are now protected by the State of California as
a candidate for listing as an endangered species. At this time, the County
cannot issue a permit to take (by removal or transplanting) any Joshua tree.
Due to the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the
effective dates of plans utilizing the 2016 editions of the California Building
Codes were extended from July 1, 2020 to October 1, 2020. Applications
that do not have a permit issued by October 1, 2020 will be considered expired,
and applicants will be required to update corresponding plans based on the 2019
California Building Codes. The same application number can be utilized,
but additional fees may be required.
