General Plan Tune-Up Project
The General Plan Tune-Up Program consists of recurring, targeted updates to ensure that the General Plan remains accurate, consistent, and clear. It entails periodic revisions to the General Plan to identify and correct inconsistencies, minor errors, and outdated information. This will ensure that the General Plan continues to reflect the most current planning standards, regulatory requirements, and County practices. Revisions may include changes to text, maps, and figures to improve clarity, accuracy, and legal compliance. This effort does not propose or anticipate any comprehensive updates, policy changes, or reorganization of content.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The current General Plan was adopted on October 6, 2015, replacing the County’s 1980 General Plan. Since that time, the County has adopted significant updates to meet State Planning Law requirements, such as the Safety Element Update and the Green Zones Program. However, since its adoption, the document has not undergone a systematic review to correct errors, clarify language, or incorporate new State mandates. Establishing a process for periodic revisions will enhance the usability of the General Plan and ensure continued consistency with State law and County practices.
