65583 states the following: 65583. Housing element
content The housing element shall consist
of an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs and
a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives, financial resources,
and scheduled programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of
housing. The housing element shall identify adequate sites for housing,

2008. The housing element
requires an analysis of opportunities for energy conservation related to
residential development. Goals, policies and implementation strategies for
residential energy conservation can be found in the Energy Element of the
