Document Description
The project includes a focused update to, and implementation of, the 2003 Brea General Plan, specifically the Community Development (land use, circulation, economic development), Community Resources (open space), Community Services (recreation, education, cultural arts), and Public Safety chapters, with an emphasis on the land use and circulation components. The Focused General Plan Update (GPU) would allow for additional housing units and non-residential square footage across various land use categories within the incorporated City limits and would continue to allow for limited housing units in the unincorporated sphere of influence, consistent with the 2003 Brea General Plan. The project also includes a new specific plan, the Brea Core Specific Plan (BCSP), which would implement the values identified in the 2017 Brea Envisions and the goals, policies, and recommendations of the 2020 Core Active Transportation Plan. The Focused GPU would allow for the grand total of 23,736 residential units and 30,587,193 SF of non-residential uses within the City's planning area, which includes development of 4,752 residential units and 6,379,588 square feet of non-residential uses within the BCSP area.
