Sierra Madre General Plan

California Government Code Section 65300 requires that each city and county within the state of California adopt a comprehensive, long-range plan to guide development. There are seven mandatory elements of a general plan – land use, housing, circulation, open space, conservation, noise, and safety. The law does not require that these elements be organized in a particular fashion, and it allows local jurisdictions to include additional elements to address local needs and objectives. In accordance with State Government Code Section 65302, this General Plan contains seven required elements organized in four chapters addressing City issues in a logical way.

On July 14, 2015, the City Council adopted the 2015 General Plan and certified the General Plan Environmental Impact Report pursuant to Resolutions 15-43 and 15-44.
