Document Description
The project includes a Comprehensive General Plan Update (GPU), development of a South Morro Hills Community Plan (SMHCP), creation of a Smart and Sustainable Corridors Specific Plan (SSCSP), an update to the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP), Active Transportation Plan (ATP), and Trails Master Plan (TMP), collectively referred to as the project.
The GPU includes updating all elements; the Economic Development and Energy and Climate Action elements were prepared in 2019 and may also be updated to be consistent with the other elements. The updated General Plan may also include new elements and existing elements may be renamed or combined (i.e., Circulation Element to be renamed Mobility Element). The GPU aims to address inconsistencies between the existing elements and to provide an updated focus to city planning efforts.
The SMHCP will contain policies and planning guidance specific to the City’s only remaining agricultural area and will be focused on supporting the continued viability of farming through expanded agritourism opportunities. Agritourism can support agricultural uses by providing new revenues for farmers, increasing public education around farming, and improving community access to fresh, local food and farm products.
The goal of the SSCSP will be to channel future housing and employment growth into the City’s commercial corridors while maintaining the integrity of adjacent residential neighborhoods. The SSCSP will identify ways to facilitate infill and redevelopment along Mission Avenue, Oceanside Boulevard, and Vista Way, while accommodating public transit and active transportation.
The CAP update may include new GHG reduction targets and reduction measures. The CAP will be developed consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5 which would allow a streamlined GHG analysis for future development projects through implementation of a CAP consistency checklist.
The ATP will address pedestrian and bicycle movement throughout the City. While a broad level of pedestrian and bicycle policy effort is included as part of the GPU, the ATP will provide greater focus and level of detail.
The TMP will provide direction for trails development in the community, as well as enable coordination with pedestrian and bicycle planning.
