Company has asked the City to approve certain changes and modifications and/or reallocations
of the existing assessments within these two assessment districts to correspond to the
development reflected in the final map for the Trails South project and those other land use

updates for the 1999/2004 planning period. As part of those requirements, SANDAG has been
working with the State Department of Housing and Community Development and local
jurisdictions to formulate the Draft 1999 Regional Housing Needs Statement. The Regional
Housing Needs Statement identifies existing and projected housing needs for each of the
region's local jurisdictions and is a necessary document for updating Housing Elements.
