The purpose of the General Plan Amendment is to ensure the orderly use and development of real property in conformance with the General Plan policies and programs. Most General Plan Amendments require prior (or simultaneous) approval of a Zone Change. See Zone Change information sheet for details. Also refer to the General Plan Land Use, Open Space and Conservation Element (Page II-51).

This requires that the Planning Commission and City Council hold public hearings for review of the uses and proposed improvements. The proposed project is reviewed for compatibility with existing or desired conditions in surrounding neighborhoods and consistency with the General Plan policies and programs. The project is reviewed by City Council for final approval.
