The City is updating the Introduction, Land Use Element, Conservation & Open Space Element, Noise Element, Circulation Element, and Glossary of the General Plan/ Local Coastal Program Coastal Land Use Plan (GP/LUP). The Planning Commission previously held a public hearing on July 25, 2023 and August 22, 2023 and recommended adoption to the City Council of the GP/LCP. Since 2023, the GP/LCP Update project has been revised to exclude update of the City’s Safety Element and proposes new other various policy and graphic edits, legislative updates, and miscellaneous edits. The project is within the Coastal Zone and requires certification of the LCP by the California Coastal Commission. This agenda item was previously heard by the Planning Commission on December 9, 2025, January 13, 2026, March 24, 2026, and April 28, 2026. At the March 24, 2026 hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC-R-2026-005 and on April 28, 2026 adopted Resolution PC- R-2026-009 recommending to the City Council GP/LUP adoption and EIR certification, including Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations.

Environmental Review
