Pasadena : General Plan to Be Unveiled
A tentative new General Plan for the city--a “sketch plan,” city planners call it--will be unveiled Monday during a city forum.
Described by officials as a consensus view of the type of city Pasadenans want, the plan has been brewing in community workshops since November.
More than 1,000 people have participated in the workshops, identifying areas of the city they felt should be improved and indicating how much growth was acceptable.
“Next, we’d like to make sure the sketch accurately reflects the ideas and needs of the community--then we’ll build from there,” said David Watkins, the city’s principal planner.
The city is committed to finishing key parts of the General Plan by the end of the summer, after which the so-called Growth Management Initiative, placing annual caps on housing and commercial development in the city, will be placed on the November ballot.
