Some things Arnie just doesn't get right.
His general plan guidelines institute environmental justice, with is antithetical to equal justice guaranteed by our Constitution, and Sustainable Development, the United Nations plan for global socialism.
Any man, governor, terminator or whatever, that wishes to impose these ideologies on this state or any other, is not freedom's friend:
2003 General Plan Guidelines
The final version of the 2003 General Plan Guidelines is now available. Below are some of the highlights of this revised edition:
Environmental Justice: AB 1553 (Keeley, 2001) requires OPR to include environmental justice in the General Plan Guidelines. These guidelines for environmental justice must also include transit oriented development (TOD). Environmental justice and TOD are discussed in Chapter 2. Specific data or policy suggestions are also integrated into Chapter 4 (Required Elements of the General Plan) and Chapter 6 (Optional Elements).
Optional Elements: The 2003 General Plan Guidelines provides guidance on two new optional elements: water and energy.
Public Participation: Chapter 8 is a new chapter on the role of community participation in the general plan process, including desired goals and tools to achieve those goals. Although not required by AB 1553, this chapter addresses important environmental justice concerns related to inclusiveness and process.
Sustainable Development: The discussion of sustainability from the 1998 Guidelines has been revised and incorporated into the discussion of environmental justice.
Format and Element Consolidation: Chapter 5 updates and combines several sections from the 1998 Guidelines and OPR's technical advisory, Element Consolidation, in order to discuss how cities and counties can create consistent, usable general plans.
Annual Progress Reports: Planning agencies are required to monitor their progress in implementing their general plan and to report on their progress annually. The draft revised Guidelines explain this requirement and offer suggestions on how to prepare an annual progress report.
