The General Plan Update involves four key phases:
- Phase 1 focuses on identifying issues and opportunities to address in updating the General Plan and will result in Guiding Principles that describe Camarillo’s shared values and the community’s vision for the future.
- Phase 2 will explore different options for achieving the vision described by the Guiding Principles. Several different alternatives for land use and circulation will be evaluated and a preferred land use plan and key strategies to guide the General Plan Update will be identified, based on extensive community engagement.
- Phase 3 involves the creation of a draft general plan based on the vision, land use plan, and key strategies from prior phases. This phase also involves completion of an environmental impact report.
- Phase 4 involves public review of the draft documents and formal hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council prior to adoption of the 2050 General Plan.
The graphic below shows project timing. Adoption is anticipated in Fall 2027.
