Document Description
The City is preparing an update of two of its existing General Plan Elements; Land Use and Safety. The City of Ferndale’s General Plan was last comprehensively updated and adopted in 1986. Since then, the City's land use needs have changed due to economic and demographic conditions and updates to state guidelines and policies. The Land Use Element also serves as the City’s consolidated Open Space and Conservation Elements and provides the City an opportunity to review and program City-wide land uses for future growth. There have been changes to state guidelines since the Safety Element was drafted in 2014; the element will be updated to bring it into compliance with current regulations.
