Book Description

The 2016 Sebastopol General Plan is the overarching policy document that guides land use, housing, transportation, infrastructure, community services, and other policy decisions throughout Sebastopol. The General Plan includes the seven elements mandated by State law, to the extent that they are relevant locally, including: Circulation, Conservation, Housing, Land Use, Noise, Open Space, and Safety. The City may also address other topics of interest; this General Plan includes elements related to Community Services and Facilities, Economic Vitality, Community Character, and Community Health and Wellness elements. The General Plan sets out the goals, policies, and actions in each of these areas, serves as a policy guide for how the City will make key planning decisions in the future, and guides how the City will interact with Sonoma County, surrounding cities, and other local, regional, State, and Federal agencies. The City of Sebastopol has determined that a program-level environmental impact report is required for the proposed 2016 General Plan pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
