El Dorado approves state housing element amid density concerns
After 16 months of committees and documents El Dorado County advances a General Plan Housing Element promising 7,474 units in unincorporated Western Slope, with 5,120 for low income residents. Supervisor Jack Sweeney warns the plan imposes a heavy burden while Shawna Purvines asserts state certification confidence. The draft, first approved in 2008, now incorporates TIM fee adjustments and Measure Y considerations to satisfy state housing authorities.
