The General Plan guides the physical development of the community and sets forth the goals, objectives, and policies. The General Plan must have certain mandatory elements including land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, and safety. The City's General Plan has not been updated since 1993. The Planning Manager introduced the consultants: Collette Morris and Ron Pfulgrath, RBF Consulting, and Karen Warner, Cotton, Bridges & Associates. The Planning Manager stated General Plans are typically updated every 5-10 years to reflect changes in the community. Updates are necessary to adopt new goals and policies. The goals and policies within the 1993 General Plan have been completed. The Planning Manager discussed the General Plan update process, providing timelines and actions taken. He stated the Environmental Impact Report was provided to surrounding cities and agencies for review, with comments only coming from the O. C. Airport Land Use Commission regarding some minor text changes and a revised map. Most of the surrounding cities did not respond to the EIR. The Planning Manager stated revisions to the 2001 General Plan include: Format alterations to ease the use and enhance readability, with goals and objectives either deleted, modified or added per Council direction, and maps, charts, etc. updated to reflect current information. Land Use - no changes are proposed; new GIS-driven database. Circulation - new traffic model, program, and mapping. New noise model and mapping. Programs and policies modified due to new traffic model for air quality. The Planning Manager stated the Housing Element of the General Plan is one of the most critical elements of any General Plan and must be consistent with the Plan's other elements. The Housing Element is intended to guide residential development and preservation based on economic and social values of the community. The Housing Element must be updated every five to seven years. The 2001 update complies with State mandates and provides programs and goals for all income levels, and was certified by the Department of Housing and Community Development on March 30, 2001. The Certification period runs through June 30, 2005. The Planning Manager stated that State law allows a city to revise its General Plan four times a year.
