Title

General Plan Update, Zoning Code and Map Amendment, and Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP)

Description

The General Plan Update (GPU) succeeds the last comprehensive general plan adopted in 2011, with the Housing Element updated in 2022. The GPU incorporates statutory requirements for general plans and guidance provided in the 2023 General Plan Guidelines; coordinates future development and policies with regional planning efforts and serves as the city’s fundamental guide in developing strategies to address greenhouse gas reduction, climate change, and climate planning. The PEIR addresses each of the seven elements’ goals, policies, and programs of the General Plan Update. The Zoning Code and Map Amendment (ZCA) is a revision to the City’s zoning regulations and zoning map to implement the proposed General Plan. The Zoning Code and Map Amendment implements the General Plan. The Climate Action Adaptation Plan (CAAP) is a strategic policy framework that outlines how the City will address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for climate change impacts. The CAAP implements the General Plan and will include a baseline assessment of GHG emissions as well as the climate change hazards experienced in the city. Emissions will be forecasted for future years based on anticipated growth to assess trends and establish GHG reduction targets and strategies. Additionally, climate adaptation strategies have been developed to address climate hazards in the city.
