Draft General Plan- February 2008 Complete with Figures (27MB)

Draft Environmental Impact Report (17MB)

These documents represent a comprehensive update to the 1984 General Plan.    The new General Plan includes the following elements:

All the elements above are required by law, except the Economic Development Element, which is an important but optional element.  The Housing Element was adopted in 2003 and is not included in this update.  It will most likely be updated in 2009.

The current draft of the General Plan and Environmental Impact Report are a result of community input during the 2002 General Plan Update Committee process.  The plan has been updated since then to be consistent with recent legal cases and planning trends.

There are several reviews that must occur in order for the plan to be adopted. The Airport Land Use Committee has reviewed the Plan and forwarded it with a positive overall recommendation and several minor recommendations for changes.  The Planning Commission conducted a workshop and public hearing on April 15. Next, the plan will be reviewed by the Planning Commission for their recommendation to the City Council. The second Planning Commission public hearing is expected to take place in June. After Planning Commission review, the City Council will review the Draft General Plan and Final EIR over the course of at least two City Council meetings.
 
The EIR must be adopted prior (although usually at the same meeting) to the General Plan.  The review period for submitting written comments on the Draft EIR has ben extended. It began on Monday, March 3, 2008 and will close on Friday, May 16, 2008 at 5:00 pm.  (View the Draft EIR Notice of Availability and Notice of Extension.) Written responses to any comments received during this period will be included in the Final EIR. 

Written Comments should be directed to:
