The Plans goals, policies, and actions guide the day-to-day decisions made by the City Council, commissions, and staff.

State law states that amendments to a City or County’s General Plan can only occur four times per calendar year. Although there are limits on the number of times the General Plan can be amended per calendar year, there can be multiple amendments acted upon per meeting.
