What We’ve Heard To Date
• Residents generally like Calabasas the way it is.
• Open space preservation and environmental
protection are top priorities for the community.
• Different areas of the City have different
characteristics that residents wish to maintain.
• “Infill” development is preferable to “greenfield”
development.


Slide 11

Draft General Plan Key Themes
• Environmental responsibility –
preservation/enhancement of natural
resources and living within the limits
imposed by available resources
• Community character – protection of
Calabasas’ special character
• Quality of life – maintaining an
outstanding quality of life for Calabasas
residents


Slide 12

Factors Creating the Need
to Facilitate Some Land Use
Changes
• Regional Housing Needs Assessment
(RHNA) housing allocations
• Demand for shopping/retail services
• Demand for jobs
• Unmet demand for sports fields

Demand estimates assume that the City will capture 70% of projected demand.


Slide 18

Office Demand
• Strong local demand for office space
– High proportion of self-employed residents
– Affluent, highly educated population
– Base of jobs in information and professional
services industries
– Large proportion of residents with long commutes

• Demand for 300K – 400K of office space
by 2012


Slide 19

Sports Facility Demand
• According to 2003 survey, 75% of residents
believe more sports fields needed
• To meet demand at buildout of the current
General Plan (as identified in Parks and
Recreation Master Plan), needs include:
– 10 soccer fields
– 1 baseball field
– 1 softball field

• Existing school sites can accommodate at least
4 additional soccer fields

Slide 23

HM Clustering
• Purpose is to enhance clustering provisions to
increase open space inventory
• Allow owners to recognize property rights while:
– Focusing allowed development in least sensitive areas of
sites
– Reducing required grading, visual, & biological impacts
– Allowing the City to acquire additional lands for
designation as permanent open space

• Reduce minimum lot size – for example, from 10
acres to ½ acre
• Require minimum open space set aside (9 acres per
unit, for example)


Slide 24

Important Things to Remember
• Projects already approved or in process cannot be
reconsidered as part of the General Plan update.
• The ideas presented are the result of GPAC, public,
and City staff input to date.
• Potential development estimates represent “maximum
theoretical buildout” that is unlikely to ever occur.
• Current General Plan designations could
accommodate additional development as well.
• No decisions have been made with respect to any
policies or land use map changes.
