Community Development Services, Planning and Building Department recommending the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 017-2018 approving the General Plan amendments considered by the Board during the February 2018 "General Plan Window". (Est. Time: 10 Min.)
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
In accordance with Government Code Sections 65353 and 65345, the Community Development Services, Planning and Building Department and the Planning Commission have made recommendations to the Board regarding potential amendments to the General Plan.
In accordance with Government Code Section 65355, the Board has reviewed and held at least one public hearing on the recommended amendments to the General Plan.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65358, no mandatory element of a General Plan shall be amended more frequently than four times during an calendar year. Each amendment may include more than one change to the General Plan.
General Plan amendments are batched together during the year in order to comply with law and yet allow flexibility to the County regarding General Plan amendments. Each batch is unofficially labeled as a General Plan Window.
During February 2018, the Board considered and conceptually approved two General Plan amendments. The Oliver Amendment changed land use designation from Commercial to Residential for 0.25 acres in El Dorado and the El Dorado Hills Apartment Amendment added a new Policy under Objective 2.6.6 to the General Plan allowing maximum residential density of 47 dwelling units per acre on a 4.56 acres site in El Dorado Hills. The land use and Policy changes are within the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
Adoption of the Resolution will finalize the Board's action on the General Plan amendments. This action is the first General Plan Window of 2018 for the Land Use Element of the General Plan. There are three remaining Land Use Element General Plan Windows in 2018.
