Irvine 2045 General Plan Update

Irvine 2045 General Plan Update

The City of Irvine (City) is preparing the 2045 Focused General Plan Update (project) that will serve as the long-range vision of the City for the next 20 to 25 years. The City is required to update the appropriate elements of the General Plan to accommodate the residential site inventory from the 2021-2029 Housing Element. This includes updates to the land use element and the circulation element. Additionally, the City would update the open space element, safety element, and noise element to address statutory requirements. The City would introduce an environmental protection and climate action element and would also incorporate health and wellness throughout the updated General Plan. Consistent with the 2021-2029 Housing Element, the project would update the General Plan land use element to support the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) of 23,610 units. The project would implement 2021 2029 Housing Element through the introduction of additional residential and/or mixed-use development throughout the City using overlay zones and/or specific plans to allow greater flexibility for property owners and developers.
