All cities in the State of California are required to maintain a General Plan and Housing Element, which is one of the required chapters of the General Plan. The “Sixth Cycle” Housing Element Update is underway, and will plan for housing within the City of Sebastopol from 2023-2031. The City of Sebastopol started working on this effort in September of 2021. 

Currently, the City is reviewing options for strategies to address local housing needs. 

As part of this process, the City is seeking your input on potential policies and programs to address housing needs in the Community.  Please fill out (and share!) the below survey by April 15:
