EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This is the third of multiple planned public meetings by the Mayor and City Council to discuss, receive public input/comments, and consider the City’s Draft General Plan Land Use Plan/Map which will support and inform the Draft Housing Element Update and serve as the basis for the required environmental analysis (California Environmental Quality Act - CEQA) of the City’s ongoing General Plan Update.

It is expected that the May 11, 2021 City Council continued discussion on this agenda item will include a brief staff and consultant presentation summarizing GPAC’s and Planning Commission’s recommendations and including the information in response to the requests from the Mayor and City Council at the previous meetings. At this meeting, and potentially on the May 18, 2021, City Council will continue the discussions and considerations of options in order to finalize the General Plan Land Use Plan/Map that will support and inform the Draft Housing Element Update and serve as the basis for the required environmental analysis (California Environmental Quality Act - CEQA) of the City’s ongoing General Plan Update.

BACKGROUND

This is the third of multiple planned public meetings by the Mayor and City Council to discuss, receive public input/comments, and consider the City’s Draft General Plan Land Use Plan/Map which will support and inform the Draft Housing Element Update and serve as the basis for the required environmental analysis (California Environmental Quality Act - CEQA) of the City’s ongoing General Plan Update.

At the first public meeting on April 20, 2021, City Staff and the consultant provided a comprehensive presentation of the General Plan Advisory Committee’s (GPAC’s) and the Planning Commission’s recommended Draft General Plan Land Use Plan/Map along with all the public’s comments received at the citywide meeting and survey on April 7, 2021.
