AGENDA TITLE: Receive Report on the Status of the General Plan Update
MEETING DATE: August 19,2009
PREPARED BY: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive report on the status of the General Plan Update.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In February, the City Council approved the Preferred Alternative for
the General Plan Update. Subsequent to this action in March the
City Council approved a change order to retain Dyett & Bhatia, the City's General Plan consultants, to
prepare the Housing Element as part of the comprehensive update. Since the Council action, the various
consultants have been preparing the Policy document that contains the required and optional elements to
the General Plan. Additionally, Dyett & Bhatia is preparing the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR)
that corresponds to the policies.
At this time, staff has reviewed and commented on eight of the 11 chapters. The remaining three
chapters are being reviewed. This internal review has involved a variety of departments depending on the
subject. For example, the Electric Utility Department has reviewed the Conservation Element, the Police
and Fire Departments have reviewed the Safety Element and the Public Works Department has been
heavily involved in the Growth Managementand Circulation Elements. It is our goal to introduce the Draft
of the Plan to the Planning Commission at its August 26 meeting. This is intended to begin a process of
public review that we believe will take several sessions. Following closely behind this introduction will be
the DEIR. Our expectation is that this will be completed by mid-September. The schedule shows potential
City Council review beginning in November.
This program is back within budget.
