Lawndale General Plan Safety Element Update

Lawndale General Plan Safety Element Update

The project proposes an update to the City's Safety Element. This update is intended to supersede the existing Seismic/Safety Element (adopted in 1992) of the Lawndale General Plan. The Safety Element establishes preventative and responsive policies and programs to reduce the potential impacts associated with hazards that may be affect the City of Lawndale. The Safety Element addresses geologic and seismic hazards, flood hazards, fire hazards, hazardous materials, airport operations, emergency preparedness, and response planning. The 2015 update provides a comprehensive review of the existing element and relevant regulations to develop a current framework from which to establish updated goals and policies, as well as to provide updated mapping of potential hazards. The City's General Plan, and all its associated elements, including the Safety Element, is a policy document. The 2015 update of the Safety Element, establishes an updated policy framework upon which to base future City decisions. No development is proposed or associated with the update.
