General Plan hearing Oct. 26

The Arcadia Planning Commission will hold a final public hearing on the proposed General Plan for the City of Arcadia on Oct. 26 before making a recommendation to the City Council, which will hold its own public hearing on Nov. 16.

On Sept. 14 about 50 people attended a Planning Commission workshop and provided good feedback relative to the proposed zoning code amendments that are being recommended in the Plan. The same day the City received a favorable letter from Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that the Housing Element in the draft of the Plan complies with State housing and Element law, which means no changes will be required.

Subsequently, Council members were provided hard copies of all the completed draft materials, including the Draft General Plan, the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), and the proposed zoning code amendments to the Municipal Code, which they went over at a Study Session on Oct. 5. All of these materials continue to be available to the public on the City’s General Plan website.
