Draft General Plan Update

The Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning has released the Draft General Plan for public review. The Draft General Plan, entitled Planning Tomorrow’s Great Places, will serve as the guide for the growth and development of the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County and is the first major update to the General Plan in nearly 25 years.

The Draft General Plan is the culmination of a comprehensive development process that has incorporated community outreach, public participation, field work, and policy analysis. The General Plan is composed of mandatory elements including land use, mobility, conservation and open space, noise, and safety, and three optional elements, air resources, public services and facilities, and economic development.

The Environmental Impact Report for the Draft General Plan is underway. County residents will have an additional opportunity to review and comment on the Plan when it is presented to the Regional Planning Commission, along with the Draft Environmental Impact Report, for public hearings in 2009.
