City of Buellton General Plan 2050

City of Buellton General Plan 2050

The City is preparing a comprehensive update of the Buellton General Plan in response to changes in conditions in the City and new State laws enacted since the preparation of the current General Plan, such as AB 1358 (Complete Streets), SB 99 (Evacuation Analysis), SB 379 (Climate Adaptation), and SB 1241 (Wildfire Hazards). The proposed General Plan 2050 will include updates of the following elements required by State Planning and Zoning Law: (1) Land Use and Community Character, including the Land Use Map; (2) Open Space, Parks, and Recreation; (3) Public Facilities and Infrastructure; (4) Circulation; (5) Economic Development; (6) Resource Conservation; (7) Safety; and (8) Noise. The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element was certified in 2023 and no update is proposed. The General Plan 2050 will include goals, policies, and implementation actions developed based on community outreach to advance the City’s vision and community priorities. The City is largely developed at this time with single-family neighborhoods, industrial uses, and a mix of multi-family residential and commercial uses surrounded by agricultural land and open space. Commercial uses are primarily located along U.S. Highway 101, the Avenue of Flags, and McMurray Road.
