PLACENTIA
City officials have awarded a contract to RBF Consultants to revise the General Plan, which serves as a basic document governing development within the city.
The revision will encompass eight different elements: land use, noise, open space/conservation, traffic circulation, seismic/safety, recreation and parks, growth management, and housing.
State law requires the housing element be updated by Dec. 31. Cities are required to update their housing elements every five years, but the state had been postponing that requirement since 1994.
The two-year contract will cost the city $222,000.
