(September 2008)

Below are electronic links to the individual sections of the Draft EIR for the 2007 General Plan Update. Documents that have been updated are highlighted in red.

Note:   The links below include revisions to 5 exhibits: three maps and two corresponding aerial photos which were amended to reflect those changes.   These reflect identical changes to figures in the Draft General Plan as follows: 

 1.  Central Salinas Valley land use map was amended to reflect correct reference to Land Use Plan policy for the Chualar Community Area.   Figure #LU4 ( Draft General Plan) and Exhibit 3.6 (DEIR)

2. An aerial photo that graphically portrays the  Chualar Community Area  Figure #CA3 ( Draft General Plan) and Exhibit 3.16  (DEIR)

3.   North County land use map was amended to reflect correct boundary for the Pajaro Community Area (same as Redevelopment Project Area).  An aerial photo that graphically portrays the Community Area was amended for consistency.  Figure #LU8 ( Draft General Plan) and Exhibit 3.4 (DEIR)

4.  An aerial photo that graphically portrays the Pajaro Community Area.  Figure #CA5 ( Draft General Plan) and Exhibit 3.18

5.  Carmel Valley land use map was amended to correct changes made to the mouth of the valley (Rural Center vs STA boundary) and to remove reference to STA for Delfino (airport) property. Figure # LU3 (Draft General Plan) and Exhibit 3.8 (DEIR)
