General Plan Update
Status Report
Presentation to HOA Presidents
January 29, 2008
Why Update the General Plan?
• State Law – Housing Element must be updated
every 5 years; due in July 2008.
• State Law – Overall General Plan should be
updated no less frequently than every 10 years;
Current plan is 13 years old.
• Some aspects of the 1995 General Plan have
become obsolete.
• Calabasas needed a plan for a brand new city in
1995; now it requires a plan for a city that is fully
functional and continuing to innovate.

Committee (GPAC) by Resolution on September

temporary, advisory body to the Planning
Commission and City Council in the preparation
and adoption of an updated General Plan,

Housing Element:
RHNA Compliance
• Per State law, all cities must provide their fair
share of future housing capacity and affordable
housing programs (see CGC 65580 et. seq.)
• In Southern CA, SCAG administered the
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)
process (for cycle covering 2006 – 2014)
• The RHNA for Calabasas was originally 870 new
housing units, but was appealed and reduced to
521 units.
