ANALYSIS:
The Government Code of the State of California, Section 65401, requires that a local planning agency
review a list of proposed projects recommended for planning, initiation, or construction during the
ensuing fiscal year for conformance with the local General Plan. This list of proposed projects is
contained in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Public Works Department has submitted a
CIP for fiscal year 2012/13. The role of the Planning Commission in reviewing a CIP is to ensure the
conformity of each project with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan. The benefits and
funding source for individual projects listed in the CIP will then be reviewed and approved by the City
Council.
Staff has identified goals, objectives, and policies that are applicable to the CIP in the General Plan
Conformance section of this staff report. Because the proposed projects further the goals, objectives, and
policies of the General Plan, staff recommends the Planning Commission approve General Plan
Conformance No. 12-003 finding that the proposed CIP is in conformance with the General Plan.
