Summary

City staff said the one-time cost to prepare the general plan update was about $175,000 across two fiscal years and that the proposed policy revisions do not create significant ongoing costs tied directly to the plan text.

A council member asked whether updating the general plan would have ongoing financial impacts. The city manager said the cost of preparing the updated document was "right about $175,000 over last fiscal year and this fiscal year" and added that there are no significant ongoing costs directly related to the proposed revisions.

Staff noted possible indirect costs could appear in the future if new state laws or the next housing-element cycle require additional work, but for the present update staff did not identify new ongoing budget items linked to the text changes.
