About the General Plan

A General Plan is a long-range plan for a city or county.  It represents the community's vision, and provides a broad range of goals and policies that help guide the City’s decisions on land uses, spending, and other topics.

State law requires that each city adopt a General Plan addressing at least seven topics: Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Noise, and Safety.  The Eastvale General Plan will address these topics and add goals and policies that address Eastvale-specific issues identified by the City Council and Planning Commission.

Eastvale’s General Plan will be prepared by the City’s Planning staff, working with a General Plan Advisory Committee, the Eastvale Planning Commission, and the City Council.

The following key issues will be addressed in the Eastvale General Plan:

• Community Vision:  The community’s aspirations for the future, and how these are addressed in the General Plan.
• Land Use: Ensures land is properly allocated for the housing, commercial development, industry, and community uses.
• Circulation and Infrastructure: Addresses commuting and travel-related issues for residents, including air and land transportation.
• Design: Establishes a basic level of design quality for new public and private development.
• Economic Development: Establishes long-term economic policies for the City.
• Air Quality: Provides ways of helping development meet local and regional air quality requirements.
• Housing: Addresses housing needs for all economic groups in the community.
• Noise:  Establishes standards for noise in the community, and ways of addressing noise impacts.
• Parks, Recreation, and Open Space: Creates standards for parks and open space and supports existing and new park and recreation facilities.
• Safety: Ensures the City is equipped to maintain public safety and handle potential natural disasters.
• Sustainability: Provides a framework to make responsible choices that allow for the continued success of the community.

A joint Planning Commission and City Council workshop was conducted in March 2011 to discuss the General Plan’s key issues and objectives. These include:

• Transitioning Eastvale  from a “building” mode to a “maintain and sustain” mode
• Maintaining the City’s viability and quality of life over time
• Addressing issues of health and wellness
• Maintaining the City’s physical and economic systems for the long term
