PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposed West San Gabriel Valley Area Plan (Area Plan or Project) is an extension of the General Plan focused on the unique needs and characteristics of 9 unincorporated communities within the West San Gabriel Valley Planning Area. The purpose of the Area Plan is to enhance, guide, and support the long-term growth, development, and maintenance of these communities. The Area Plan consists of areawide goals and policies on land use, economic development, conservation and open space, mobility, public services and facilities, and historic preservation. The Area Plan also includes community-specific goals and policies. In addition, the Area Plan contains areawide and community-specific implementation actions. Zoning and land use policy map changes are proposed as part of the Project to bring zoning and land use policy into conformance, conserve natural resources, limit development in hazard areas, accommodate growth and land use diversity near major transit stops and along major corridors, and implement the Housing Element Rezoning Program. The Project includes ordinance amendments to implement the goals and policies of the Area Plan and consists of new areawide standards and the reorganization and updates to existing standards. A historic context statement for the project area was also prepared and is attached to the Area Plan.
