Document Description
Addendum to the General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report No. 2018031066, which was certified with the adoption of the General Plan Review on February 20, 2024.
The Biola Community Plan (Biola Plan) consists of updates to the goals and policies of the Biola Plan to ensure consistency with the County's General Plan Policy Document, establishes implementation programs, expands the Biola Community Plan boundaries and makes various corresponding changes to land use designations to facilitate growth in the community, addresses inconsistent land uses on existing developed properties, and rezones properties to ensure Biola Community Plan consistency. The Biola Community Plan also adopts a new land use diagram for the unincorporated Community of Biola, which provides land use designations for every parcel within the Biola Plan.
