Monrovia General Plan Update - Amendments to the Land Use and Circulation Elements

Monrovia General Plan Update - Amendments to the Land Use and Circulation Elements

The proposed Land Use and Circulation Elements, together with other already adopted General Plan elements, guide the overall development in Monrovia through horizon year 2030. The proposed Land Use and Circulation Elements establish goals and policies to guide long-term decision-making regarding land use, circulation, public safety, and related issues. The Zoning Code is the primary tool for implementing land use plans and policies contained in the General Plan. In response to extension of light rail service, the City's desire to create broader circulation and land use connections to the planned station, and the anticipated economic benefits to be derived from transit service, the City has prepared a new land use plan that reflects land use changes in three areas: the Station Square Transit Village, West Huntington Drive, and South Myrtle Avenue corridors. The City has identified these existing developed areas as most suitable to accommodate a higher intensity of development necessitated by the Gold Line. The intent of the Circulation Element is to provide the City a circulation system which is safe, sensible, and provides efficient movement of people and goods throughout Monrovia. The anticipated level of future development in Monrovia will generate increased levels of traffic and place additional demands on the City's circulation system. In an effort to allevate traffic congestion and improve mobility, street improvements, travel demand management strategies, and additional transit opportunities have been identified.
