Planning commission receives and files 2025 General Plan annual progress report
Summary
The Arroyo Grande City Planning Commission voted to receive and file the 2025 General Plan annual progress report, citing corrected packet errors and progress toward RHNA; the item will go to City Council for final acceptance.
The Arroyo Grande City Planning Commission voted to receive and file the city’s 2025 General Plan annual progress report and recommended it for final acceptance by the City Council.
Planning Manager Andrew Perez presented the report, saying the filing satisfies Government Code section 65400 and summarizes progress on the general plan elements and housing‑element implementation. Perez highlighted a spike in building permits in 2024—95 permitted units largely attributed to the Haslo project (about 62 units)—and said that the city has issued permits for roughly 297 of the 692 units in its RHNA allocation (about 43%). He also noted a decline in accessory dwelling unit (ADU) permits, from 25 in 2024 to 15 in 2025, and told commissioners that a math error in table 4 of the distributed packet had been corrected prior to submission to the state.
Perez recommended the commission receive and file the report; a commissioner moved that the commission receive and file the 2025 General Plan annual progress report and find the preparation and submission not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. The motion passed on a roll call vote.
The report will be filed with the governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the Department of Housing and Community Development and referred to neighboring jurisdictions and state agencies for review as part of the public review process. The commission’s action was procedural: the report summarizes implementation progress and does not itself change plan policy.
Next steps: the City Council will receive the report for final acceptance and the planning department will continue outreach around the comprehensive general plan update and the public review draft.
