� SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN I
i A. INFORMATION REGARDING GENERAL PLAN: .PROPOSAL AND ZNTENT
� Staff will discuss the growing importance of the General {
� Plan, particularly since the consistency legislation of i
� 1971, which required that zoning and subdivision approvals
! be consistent with the General Plan. The nine (9) manda- I
�, tory elements and the other permissive elements will also
be discussed. {
�
Other items to be discussed will include.the legal imoli- I
cations of the failure to have a completed and up-dated `
Plan, the meaning of "consistency", and the procedures �
for adoption. I
B. GENERAL PLAN OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
The present General Plan of the City of Lynwood was adopted
in Apri1 of 1977. It contains all the mandatory elements
' required by State Planning Law. It consists of a General
Plan Map and a Text.
The Housing Element was completely revised in 1981 and a
Recreation Element was adopted earlier this year--the latter
is an optional element. The Land Use Element has been
amended several times since its adoption in 1977.
C. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
On September 7, 1982, the City Council considered an item
which would permit the orderly processing of General Plan
' Amendments on a tri-annual basis.
State law restricts amendments to any one of the mandatory
elements to three (3) per year. This is aimed at preventing
continual General Plan Amendments every time an inconsis-
tency between a proposed zoning action and the General Plan
f surfaces.
