Download Excerpt/Summary
The Community General Plan establishes the direction and form for the development of Hacienda Heights, setting forth broad guidelines for the extent and nature of growth. The Plan is comprehensive, being based on an analysis of such physical features of the community as geology and seismicity, slope and vegetation. The social environment and its relationship to physical features are also considered. These interrelationships determine the type of community which is desired in the future as well as the kinds of growth which can be tolerated. The plan provides a long range look at the community so that appropriate facilities will be provided.
This report contains a summary of the problems and issues facing Hacienda Heights and the policy recommendations developed to respond to these community concerns. Some required data, such as the population and wildlife inventory, are published in the Environmental Impact Report. The plan is a product of the Hacienda Heights Planning Advisory Committee working in conjunction with the staff of the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning. The PAC held more than 25 meetings between October, 1975 and January, 1978. Approximately ten of these were devoted to the discussion of background technical data which serve as the foundation of the plan recommendations. The latter meetings have consisted of lengthy discussions of alternative methods of achieving the community's goals.
