City Council adopted its <br />General Plan in 20091. For the General Plan to provide effective guidance on land use issues, the <br />goals, policies, and programs of each element must be internally consistent with other elements. <br />This Housing Element builds upon the existing General Plan and is consistent with its goals and <br />policies. Various Housing Element programs require Zoning Ordinance amendments, and some <br />will require amendments to the General Plan for consistency. As those Housing Element <br />programs are implemented, the General Plan will be amended concurrently to ensure consistency <br />across planning documents. In the event an element of the General Plan is amended, the City <br />will consider the impacts of the amendment on the other elements to maintain consistency across <br />all documents. <br />In addition, California Government Code Section 65302(g) requires safety elements to be updated <br />related to fire risk and emergency evacuation routes upon the 6th Cycle revision of the Housing <br />Element. Therefore, the City is underway with updating its Safety Element.
