Patterson’s Housing Needs

Patterson Needs to Build 3,716 Homes by 2031

Patterson’s Housing Element

The Housing Element, a state-mandated policy document, outlines how cities will meet the housing needs of all income groups. Unfortunately, the City of Patterson has been out of compliance with its 6th Cycle Housing Element since December 31, 2023. The penalties for non-compliance are severe, potentially leading to ineligibility or delay in receiving state funds, as well as additional financial and legal ramifications for the City.

According to the City, Patterson could face a housing shortage as early as 2026. The Regional Housing Needs Assessment has mandated the City to provide 3,716 homes by 2031, with Keystone Ranch expected to play a significant role in meeting this state-mandated housing goal. This presents a hopeful prospect in the face of the city's housing challenges.

Here's How Patterson Can Meet its Housing Requirements.

Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan

The purpose of the Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan is to establish a policy and regulatory document to guide the development of the area.  The Master Plan implements the vision, goals, and policies of the Patterson General Plan by creating communities with complete neighborhoods, complete streets, and employment opportunities.


Keystone Ranch is a crucial part of the Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Area, a plan that was unanimously approved by City Council in August 2022.  The City of Patterson, with valuable input from the community, prepared the Master Plan after a detailed analysis and planning of the city's anticipated growth. The plan calls for phased residential and commercial/industrial development, public improvements, parks, schools, and other upgrades, all of which are critical in shaping our community's future. Keystone Ranch was anticipated to be built during the first phase of the plan and includes important infrastructure upgrades that will enable the Master Plan to be implemented as envisioned.

So, why is Patterson Delaying New Homes From Being Built?

It’s time to ask the important questions.

Why are City staff and the City Attorney wasting time and money fighting a project that the Master Plan called for?
Who stands to gain by fighting this project and the litigation it creates?
How much is the city spending on legal advice? Have they been transparent with residents about the cost?
Who’s really in charge in Patterson?  
While City staff continues to hold development in Patterson hostage with impossible conditions and fees, it’s the residents that stand to lose.
