What specific issues does the new General Plan
address?
The General Plan is made up of seven mandatory elements.
These Elements include
- Land Use – Location of housing,
commerce, industry, and open space
- Circulation – Transportation; streets,
roads, transit, bicycles, pedestrians
- Housing – Existing and projected
housing needs. Programs and policies to provide housing
for all economic groups
- Conservation – Natural resources,
soil, water, and wildlife
- Open Space – Parks and open space
preservation and acquisition
- Noise – Identification of noise
sources and programs to mitigate noise problems
- Safety – Protection from seismic,
geologic, flood, wildfire, and 0ther hazards
In addition to these seven mandatory elements described above,
a General Plan can include optional elements. For example,
Redwood City’s current General Plan includes a Historic
Resources Element, a Human Services Element, and a Cultural
Resources Element.
