Background

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires state and local agencies to identify, avoid, and mitigate potential negative environmental impacts associated with activities categorized as "projects" , which includes this General Plan Update.

The General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report (EIR) ensures compliance with CEQA by identifying potential environmental impacts resulting from proposed land use changes, and offering mitigation alternatives. The City will adhere to specific time frames for public notices and hearings as the report is developed.
