Culver City Unveils New Monthly Residential Development Pipeline Reports

The City of Culver City launched a new, publicly accessible residential development dashboard, providing residents and stakeholders with an up-to-date, transparent view of housing projects currently under development review. This online report, which will be updated monthly, details key information on each project, including its type, status, and the number of units, with a breakdown of affordable versus market-rate housing units. 

As of November 2024, the pipeline includes 26 active residential projects across the City, totaling 4,160 units, of which 538 are designated as affordable housing. This exceeds the City’s total Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) obligation, which requires planning for 3,341 new housing units by 2029. The new reporting underscores Culver City's ongoing commitment to addressing the growing demand for housing while ensuring equitable access to affordable living options. 

The launch of the dashboard follows the recent approval by the City Council of a new General Plan and Zoning Code, designed to streamline the development process and support the city’s growth. These updates are part of Culver City's continued effort to create a balanced mix of housing opportunities to meet the needs of its diverse population. 

“We are committed to fostering a transparent and efficient process for housing development in Culver City,” said Mark Muenzer, Planning and Development Director. “The updates to the General Plan and Zoning Code have helped facilitate the housing development necessary to accommodate our growing population. We want the public to have easy access to information on these projects, which represent our efforts to help create both affordable and market-rate housing.” 

The new dashboard is now available to the public and can be accessed via the City’s official website. The latest figures in the report, as of November 2024, are available for review and download in PDF format.
