Board of Supervisors Hearing

The 2015 General Plan Clean-Up General Plan Amendment and Rezone (GPA 14-001; REZ 14-001) has been scheduled for a Board of Supervisors hearing on November 18, 2015, 9:00am, at the County Administration Center (CAC), Room 310, 1600 Pacific Highway in San Diego. A link to the hearing agenda is provided below.

The General Plan Clean-Up is intended to provide a regular mechanism for making changes to the General Plan to allow for corrections discovered during the General Plan's implementation or to reflect changing circumstances. This is second General Plan Clean-Up processed since the adoption of the General Plan in 2011. The types of changes included in the project fall into the following categories: Land Use Map & zoning, General Plan text revisions, Implementation Plan, Mobility Element Network, and community/subregional plans.

Board of Supervisors Hearing Agenda - November 18, 2015

Board of Supervisors Staff Report                                

Background
A comprehensive update of the County General Plan was adopted in 2011. The General Plan provides a framework for land use and development decisions consistent with an established community vision and is based on a set of guiding principles designed to protect the County’s unique and diverse natural resources and maintain the character of its rural and semi-rural communities.

The General Plan Update was a comprehensive, complex, and large update in both scope and scale. As such, staff and the Board of Supervisors anticipated that unforeseen inconsistencies and mapping errors, along with changed circumstances, would emerge during plan implementation that would require changes. Efficiencies can be achieved by grouping the changes and processing them in a batch. By adopting a formal approach to such a review, certainties and assurances can also be achieved in the process. Therefore, at the time of the adoption of the General Plan Update, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to bring forward a General Plan ‘clean-up’ every two years in the form of a General Plan Amendment.         

The Draft Plan for the 2015 General Plan Clean-Up was circulated for a 45-day public and agency review and comment period from April 15 through June 1, 2015. See the link to Attachment B above for the Staff Recommendation document, which provides a description of each of the proposed changes in the project. See the links below for countywide and community-level maps of the proposed Land Use Map/zoning changes, in addition to analysis worksheets for each of the proposed Land Use Map/zoning items in the project.
