Read More Community Workshop #3Thank you for those that attended Community Workshop #3, held virtually on January 13, 2022. For those of you that missed it, or were unable to attend, the workshop focused on potential land use changes as part of the General Plan Update. These land use changes are outlined in the Land Use Alternatives Report, available to download by clicking on the "Land Use Alternatives" tab at the top of this page. The presentation can be accessed by clicking on the link to the right.  Alternatives Community Survey: Thank You For Your Participation!Thank you for all of you who participated in the Alternatives Community Survey. For those of you that were unable to take the survey, there will be more opportunities in the future to participate. Your responses will be used to help choose a Preferred Land Use Alternative and guide the General Plan Update process. Please click on the link below to view a summary of the survey results. COMMUNITY SURVEY SUMMARY Land Use Alternatives Report Available for Review!The Land Use Alternatives Report contains a series of potential land use alternatives, specifically related to future land use choices (alternatives) and circulation/mobility options. The potential land use alternatives are based on community feedback collected at the beginning of the project. The Report outlines a range of scenarios and the impact of each for the community’s consideration. The community was provided an opportunity to weigh in on the findings during Community Workshop #3, where all comments, suggestions, and ideas will be presented to City Council for their consideration. Decision-makers will then be asked to weigh the costs and benefits of each alternative presented in the Report and to select a “preferred land use alternative.”  The preferred land use alternative will be combined with community input and the City’s Guiding Principles, to guide the development of General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs through the conclusion of the update process. Click Here to Download Adopted Guiding PrinciplesOn August 23, 2021, at a Joint Study Session, the City Council and Planning Commission adopted a set of General Plan Guiding Principles for the Solvang General Plan Update. The Guiding Principles express the key values and aspirations for Solvang's future and serve as guideposts for the goals, policies, and implementation programs contained in the General Plan. All General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs will need to be consistent with Guiding Principles.
