General Plan
General Plan 2030 and Local Coastal Program
A general plan is a comprehensive, long range and internally consistent statement of a city's development and preservation policies. It sums up the City's philosophy of growth and preservation, highlights what is important to the community, and prescribes where different kinds of development should go. State law requires that cities prepare general plans and regularly review and update them. The preparation of the draft GP 2030 was a community-based process led by a 17-member General Plan Advisory Committee.
