Lake County General Plan 2050

Lake County General Plan 2050

Lake County is preparing a comprehensive update to the 2008 General Plan and all eight of the County’s Local Area Plans, which were adopted at various times between 1988 and 2010. The General Plan is being updated to respond to new State laws, changing conditions, and emerging issues and opportunities. State law requires that the General Plan contain eight elements: land use, circulation, housing, open space, noise, safety, conservation, and environmental justice. The County’s updated General Plan, including the eight Planning Areas (Local Area Plans) include goals, policies, and actions that set the long-term plan for potential future development in unincorporated Lake County. The proposed project builds off the current General Plan and Local Area Plans to provide a framework for land use, transportation, and conservation decisions, and direct future growth within unincorporated Lake County through the year 2050.
