General Plan Land Use Map Update: Maps 1-9
Summary
The city is studying whether parcels owned by governments, utilities, conservation groups, and the tribe should be removed from development potential on the General Plan land use map. A draft running total shows about 705 potential housing units coming off the books so far — but a later pass on real-world zoning mismatches could add units back. No consultant budget exists this fiscal year, so staff is doing this work in-house.

Impact analysis
No consultant budget in FY 2026/2027, so the General Plan update is being done with existing staff resources.
Residents get a General Plan that matches reality on the ground, with conservation and utility lands no longer counted as developable.
The reduction in counted residential capacity could affect future housing availability, though a later review may offset some of it.
