Welcome
The City of Santa Fe Springs hosted a digital community workshop on Wednesday,
March 31, 2021, using Zoom video conferencing. The workshop focused on two
General Plan topics: Environmental Justice and Housing. An interpreter was
available for Spanish-speaking participants. Participants who participated in the
workshop were entered into a raffle for a chance to win one of ten gift cards to local
restaurants and retail stores in the City.

Approximately 48 participants attended the workshop, including City staff and
consultants. Laura Stetson and Jose Rodriguez of MIG facilitated the meeting.
Discussion notes are included in Appendix A. The PowerPoint Presentation is
included in Appendix B.

Presentation and Discussion
The meeting began with opening remarks from Wayne Morrell, Director of Planning.
The presentation then shifted over to Jose Rodriguez, from MIG, who welcomed

The second part of the presentation focused on the Housing Element. Ms. Stetson
discussed the Regional Housing Needs Assessment and how the City could

densities could be assigned to different affordability levels and where new housing
