10 Years Later, City Completes General Plan

LAFAYETTE, CA-After 10 years of meetings and revisions, the City of Lafayette has completed the final draft of its Draft General Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Report, finally revealing its contents to the public.

LAFAYETTE, CA-The City of Lafayette held its first hearing this week on the city’s Draft General Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Report, which was first introduced ten years ago. The commission held its first public hearing on the new plan last week.

In 1992, the General Plan Advisory Committee was created to develop a general plan for the city. After two years of meetings, the Draft Goals and Policies document was published. For the next four years, the city conducted land-use inventories, background studies and data collection in preparation for the plan update and Environmental Report.

Finally, in 1998, the city published the first General Plan, after hiring a consultant to assist city staff in the comprehensive update process. Still, it would be another two years before the city council conducted public meetings to gather opinions and recommendations. It was then passed on to the planning commission.
