General Plan Update (5/08)

DPLU Link to GP Update

California requires each county to create and maintain a General Plan. The General Plan guides the policies and actions of the County. The Department of Planning and Land Use (DPLU) is responsible for San Diego County's General Plan.

GP2020 was the name for the county's effort (from about 2000 to 2007) to revise the county's current General Plan. There are six General Plan "elements": Land use (LU), Circulation (C), Housing (H), Conservation and open space (COS), Safety (S), and Noise (N).

GP2020 Background - Over the past seven years, after numerous community meetings, subcommittee meetings, workshops, and the involvement of many citizens, our community had completed:

- Land Use Designation Map

- Circulation Element (map)

- Almost-complete draft Community Plan text.

Bob Citrano, our designated DPLU planner, indicated that we would soon start work to complete the Community Plan text. Bob indicated that the GP2020 would likely go the Board of Supervisors in spring 2008 and the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) would follow.

Recent events - General Plan Update - In 2007, Gary Pryor, Director of DPLU, resigned. Eric Gibson is the Interim Director. Ivan Holler, Project manager for GP2020, also resigned in 2007. Devon Muto took over DPLU's GP2020 effort. In late 2007, the county announced a revised effort, named General Plan Update.

- The number of DPLU staff dedicated to GPU has been reduced from eleven to four.

- A consultant (Pacific Municipal Consultants) has been selected to "drive the update to completion."

- Additional alternatives are being created.

- Estimated completion date: Fall 2010.

VCCPG's next step - One to three year effort to re-define the principles and specifics that our community wants in the General Plan Update.

VCCPG's GP Update subcommittee - Keith Simpson (chairman), Larry Glavinic, Lael Montgomery, Rich Rudolf, Sandy Smith, Joe Tanalski, Jon Vick, Cindy Wallace, Jim Yerdon.
