III. Review of Goals & Policies
Tescher distributed for review and feedback staff recommendations for the policy revisions for the Land Use Element.
The revisions fine tune the 2006 General Plan policies, which incorporate a number of Citizen Advisory Panels,
response to recent state legislation and best practices for climate change (SB 375, AB 32, Orange County
Sustainable Communities Strategy), sustainability, and healthy communities, and comments received by the LUEAA
Committee members as of a few weeks ago. Recent comments will be incorporated in the discussion today.
Gardner reminded the group the extent to which the 2006 General Plan was vetted by the community during the
original process. Selich reminded the group not to make wholesale changes but to look at the regulatory power of the
General Plan and make sure that it is the most accurate words for the intent of the General Plan document.
