Irvine, along with all California cities and counties, is required to adequately plan for and meet the housing needs of everyone in the community. In the Housing Element Update, the City must identify enough potentially developable land suitable for residential use to meet the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation required by the State. The City’s portion of SCAG’s RHNA for the 2021-2029 Housing Element is 23,610 units. The virtual community meetings will be held on Thursday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to noon, and Thursday, April 29 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. A flier with information on the Housing Element Update is available in eight languages, and anyone who needs language assistance for the community meetings can email mchao@cityofirvine.org by April 30 to schedule an individualized meeting. For information or to register (available in multiple languages), visit cityofirvine.org/housingelementupdate. • Earth Day is April 22, and the City is offering a number of ways to celebrate all month long. Residents and businesses are invited to take the Restore our Earth Pledge and promise to complete at least seven actions that will conserve valuable resources and reduce pollution. To find tips for going green at work and at home, and to participate in online meetings and webinars, such as the Drive Electric Earth Day webinar on April 20 and a virtual composting class on April 23, visit cityofirvine.org/earthday. • The community is invited to participate in the National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation, which runs through April 30.

Residents and businesses can join in this competition by pledging to conserve water and other resources at mywaterpledge.com.
