When not characterized by proponents as the answer to your every need (and byopponents as a fossil from an era best forgotten), the general plan continues to be avessel into which communities pour their hopes and State agencies pour theirexpectations. Those hopes and expectations are increasingly colliding: communitiesdemand control that local agencies can’t assure; developers are seduced by promisesof density, then abandoned when the community objects. The State’s expectations,including GHG initiatives, SB 32, the Scoping Plan, SB 743 methodologies fortransportation impact assessment, and the draft general plan guidelines, are all drivingthe general plan in one direction, while expectations of communities to retain control oftheir destiny push the plan in the opposite direction. Can these opposing forces bereconciled, and is the general plan even the best place to do it? How these thornyissues get resolved—in new plans that are constructed around visions of public healthand quality of life, is the topic which this panel will tackle.RECOGNITION OF HAGMAN SCHOLARS AND SPONSORSWayne Smutz, Dean, UCLA Extension12:15pmUPDATE #3 – Planning, Zoning, and Development Law UpdateThis not-to-be missed PZDL event of the year will bring you case law and legislativeupdates on all your favorite land use topics.
