The City of Calipatria Housing Element identifies the need for residential development at various densities and at different affordability levels. According to the Cycle 6 City of Calipatria Housing Element, housing development within the city has remained stagnant since 2011 with only two housing units being developed in that time period. During their analysis of the vacant parcels within the city, it was determined that the eastern half of the city has remained severely underdeveloped and holds most of the identified vacant parcels in the city optimal for a variety of residential and mixed-use developments. In furtherance of the Housing Element goals, objectives, and policies, the City is developing the Eastside Specific Plan to both encourage and facilitate buildout in this underdeveloped segment of the city.
