Greenhouse gases. Housing generation. Ballot box planning. Smart growth, sustainability, infrastructure, and hazards management. Complex negotiations in the Legislature over general plans are being framed around increasingly complex sets of driver issues like these. While communities insist upon well-conceived, legally valid plans, they now demand plans that incorporate innovation and realism; confront growth issues; transcend "legalism" by developing effective tools for consensus; conserve character while celebrating community culture. This valuable seminar will illustrate what those plans look like and what they must contain to meet evolving State standards. The program will include both legal fundamentals and hot-button topics, recent court decisions, and each aspect of a plan's development, formulation and implementation. No refund after November 28.
