La Canada Flintridge General Plan Update Program EIR

Document Description: The proposed Project is the first comprehensive update since the General Plan was adopted in 1980 following the City's incorporation, although individual elements have been updated periodically over the past 27 years. The City is largely built out and new development opportunities are limited; however, initial implementation through 2030 buildout of the Project would include changed to some land use designations, additional traffic, and redevelopment based on new or revised goals, objectives, and policies. The Project is expected to provide the planning framework through 2030 and could lead to a potential population increase from the existing 21,256 residents to 23,799 residents, and increase of 2,523.
