Document Description
Adopt the Ferndale General Plan Land Use Map, and adopt amendments to the Land Use Element and Safety Element of the Ferndale General Plan. The Land Use Element and General Plan Land Use Map will continue to accommodate projections of population and economic growth using infill principles. The City’s anticipated growth during the planning period is expected be contained within the present City boundary and concentrated largely within already developed residential areas and planned development areas as identified in the Element. Targeted increases in land use density (or increases in the allowable uses and development standards) will be necessary in portions of the City to implement the Programs set forth in the City’s adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element, and to be consistent with changes in State housing law. The General Plan Land Use Map identifies land use designations for each parcel in the City limits. The Safety Element Update has been prepared in accordance with Government Code Section 65302(g), and identifies potential risks to persons and property resulting from fires, floods, earthquakes, landslides, and other hazards. It is intended to provide an overview of potential hazards in the area and provide policies to help improve City infrastructure to be more resilient against hazards. The Safety Element Update includes new State-mandated safety considerations for climate change and emergency evacuation routes to comply with California Government Code (CGC) Section 65302(g) and SB 375. The Safety Element Update also establishes a cross-link to Ferndale’s adopted local hazard mitigation plan.
