The City of La Puente General Plan documents our shared vision of tomorrow and defines the steps to progress from the present to the future. The General Plan is a long-range policy document (with a projected horizon of 15 to 20 years), frequently referred to as the guidebook or “blueprint” for our City’s development. This blueprint directs the look, the feel, and the experience of our City now and in the future.

The Housing Element is one of the seven state-mandated elements of the City of La Puente’s General Plan and provides a framework to address the existing and projected housing needs of our community’s economic segments. The Housing Element is required to be updated every eight years to ensure compliance with any changes in State housing laws, consider changes in demographics, and demonstrate the ability to meet future housing needs.
On October 7, 2022, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) certified the City of La Puente’s 2021-2029 (6th Cycle) Housing Element. The final adopted and certified Housing Element and Appendices are made available for viewing by clicking on the link below.
The certified Housing Element, as required by State law, identifies and analyzes existing and projected housing needs in order to preserve, improve, and develop housing for all economic segments of the community. The Housing Element also demonstrates how the City will accommodate its fair share of regional housing needs and includes a Housing Program, which establishes goals, policies, and implementation actions to address the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). No physical development or construction of housing is proposed with this Housing Element, as it is a required component of the City’s General Plan.

Safe Routes To School (“SRTS”) is a strategy that improves pedestrian and bicycle travel conditions around schools in order to increase opportunities for students and their families to use active modes of transportation to get to and from school. SRTS is typically divided into two categories, infrastructure and non-infrastructure. Infrastructure, also called engineering, seeks to improve the physical built environment that makes active modes of travel safe, convenient, and comfortable.
