Planning Commission recommends City Council adopt updated Safety Element (GPA 26-001)
Summary
Planning staff presented General Plan Amendment GPA 26-001 to update the Safety Element, noting the California Board of Forestry approved minor edits; the commission voted to recommend the City Council adopt the amendment.
Planning staff presented General Plan Amendment GPA 26-001 on Feb. 4, proposing updates to the city’s Safety Element and recommending the Planning Commission forward a resolution to the City Council in support of adoption.
A city planner summarized the update, saying the Safety Element is one of seven mandatory elements of the general plan and that the update was triggered by the city’s adoption of the 2025 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The planner said the California Board of Forestry reviewed the update, suggested minor text and map changes to match the recently adopted fire hazard severity maps, and approved the revised element in November/December after staff incorporated the edits. “Staff recommends that the planning commission approve a resolution of the planning commission recommending that the city council adopt general plan amendment 26-001 to update the general plan safety element,” the presenter stated.
The commission opened the public hearing; no members of the public spoke. Commissioners posed no substantive questions of staff during the public-comment period or deliberations. Commissioner Josh Bashan moved “to incorporate the amendment as drafted.” After a second, the motion passed by voice vote.
The next procedural step is for staff to present GPA 26-001 to the City Council for adoption. No changes to the amendment were recorded during the commission’s action.
