Summary
The state handed Redding a housing target of 5,160 units for 2028–2036 — more than triple the current cycle — driven by a new cost-burden adjustment and jobs-housing balance factors. The city doesn't have to build them, but must zone for them, likely raising allowed densities to 20 units per acre or more.
