April 27th - CRA's Community Rummage Sale - Huge thanks to all all!
From the significant planning, coordination, donations, promotions, staffing, setup/tear down etc...this wouldn't have been possible without the leadership of JC Myers. He was supported by many other CRA Board Members and many volunteers throughout our community, including Carmel High and Carmel Middle School students and parents and so many more - too many to count. Plus to all of the donations from folks far and near and the same with shoppers including travelers to our Village - most in town for the Big Sur Marathon.

Carmel-by-the-Sea's Housing Element is officially "CERTIFIED"
As of April 25th, our Village has received our official Certification letter from Sacramento. This is a huge accomplishment - with more to follow. Congratulations and thanks goes to everyone who contributed, especially the City Planning Department AND Residents who participated throughout this nearly 2 year effort.
To keep our Certification - there is much to do. There are many next steps coming in the next months+, including programs to be developed, refinements to the proposed housing sites listings, the revised ADU Ordinance, drafting Objective Design Standards, and more. Your voice is critical in these follow-on items to protect and preserve the character and charm of our Village.
Visit our CRA Housing webpage for our Housing Element meeting video's, documents, press coverage and background. Be sure to review the "Did You Know" and "Living Document" links at the top of this page.
Visit our CRA Local Control webpage for more on past and coming housing legislation and the grass roots organizations pushing back on Sacramento's one-size-fits all approach. This includes informative links, videos, press and more on the bills that increase penalties and remove local control of land use and zoning. (updated many times per week)
AND for those who want to learn more, I highly recommend this one link as the best single source (a primer) to learn about California's (yes, absurd) RHNA/Housing legislation - HERE.
