General Plan Elements
There are the eleven elements covered in the City of Coachella General Plan:
1. Introduction: The Coachella General Plan is the primary legal document to guide long-term growth, development and conservation in the City and the Sphere of Influence. The General Plan is the articulation for the City’s vision of growth for the next 80-100 years with specific steps to guide development toward that vision between now and 2035. As such, the General Plan identifies the goals, policies and actions that will enable the City to achieve this vision.
2. Vision and Guiding Principles: Coachella’s vision is to transform the City from a small town to a medium-sized, full-service city - a city where people can live, work, and play and the driving force behind the Valley’s economy.
3. Land Use: the general location and intensity of housing, business, industry, open space, education, public buildings and grounds, and other land uses in Coachella.
4. Mobility: the planned road systems in our community, as well as other ways that people and goods move around Coachella-by foot, by bicycle, by ship, and by rail.
5. Community Health and Wellness: The analysis will include topics such as physical activity, respiratory health, access to parks and open space, access to healthy foods, topics related to social and environmental justice, transportation safety and other relevant topics. The optional task also includes the development of policies and implementation actions for health in the General Plan.
6. Sustainability and Natural Environment: establishes the City’s long-term goals and policies for managing and protecting its
natural resources and open spaces.
7. Safety: the City’s policies and programs for keeping our community safe from both manmade and natural hazards like earthquakes and floods.
8. Infrastructure and Public Services: provides information and policy guidance to ensure the provision of public facilities and services in order to support existing and new development in the City of Coachella.
9. Noise: a description of existing and future noise sources and the City’s standards for protecting residents from excessive noise.
10. Housing: strategies for providing adequate housing to meet the current and future housing needs of everyone in our community.
11. Implementation Actions: This section ties together the goals and policies in the General Plan. It contains actions organized under each of the General Plan Elements (except for Housing) to realize the vision for Coachella's future.
