City of McFarland General Plan Amendment

Document Description: The City proposes a General Plan Amendment to amend the Land Use Element to add two new land use designations, establish new policies and objectives associated with the new land use designations and other development within the planning area, and amend the Land Use Map to assign land uses to specific areas within the SOI and change existing land use designations for several properties within the City boundaries. Approximately 4,850 dwelling units and 24.8 million square feet of non-residential sf could be accommodated based upon the land use designations and estimates for the amount of development that could occur within the planning area over the next 25 years (to approximately 2040) if all sites with the opportunity for development are developed to their identified potential. However, it should be noted that the project does not propose site-specific development on any site within the City or SOI. Individual development projects would occur in incremental phases over time, based largely on economic considerations, market demand, and other planning considerations. The phasing and exact details of each project would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. No development is proposed or associated with the GPA.
