At the Galt Planning Commission meeting Thursday, Feb. 11, commissioners gave feedback and ideas on items pertaining to the Housing Element update project. Staff presented commissioners with current zoning maps, and gave an initial outlook of what future uses could look like in order to satisfy new state housing mandates. According to the new state and Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) mandates, the city of Galt must provide zoning for 1,926 new homes during the 2021-29 Housing Element â 404 of which need to be allocated for very low income, 243 for low income, 379 for moderate income and 900 for above moderate income. The 1,926 housing unit increase would boost Galtâs housing inventory by 31%, if all units were built in that eight-year period; 34% of those new homes will need to be in the low income categories.
