Home

Map changes were made based on CDPs and criteria outlined in the methodology reports, which substantiate the change proposed. They were done in an electronic map via GIS that merges many different layers including old and current parcel data, 2005 LUPG, many of which are noted on the disclaimer of the extensive list of polygons provided under the UIPA request. Not all land use designations follow TMK boundaries and there can be many polygons within 1 parcel. So, it is not as simple as you might prefer to provide the information you want in today's world of technology. 6. Why were the number of detailed land use maps reduced from 24 in the current GP to 6 in the 7/24 draft GP, thereby making it effectively impossible to compare printouts from the current GP .pdf with printouts from the 7/24 draft GP .pdf? To simplify the document itself given that the data will always live and be available electronically, which further allows people to zoom in and out as needed for their specific use. 7. Given it is impossible to see the .pdf printout of the land use maps, why does the online Konveio software platform prevent the online map from being copied and printed, thereby impeding analysis and research on changes between the land use maps? The Konveio site does not have a printing function for the GIS map. You could zoom in and use the Print Screen function on your computer. 8. Why does the online Konveio software platform prevent text within the 7/24 draft GP from being copied and printed? This forces people to download the .pdf copy and then switch back- and-forth between the online version when preparing comments using key word searches in the online version and then having to copy and paste from the .pdf copy. The Konveio site does not have a printing function. It is designed to be interactive electronically. If you require a hard copy, we can send one to you. 9. Why were all comments made on the online Konveio platform Sept 2023 GP2045 removed? They have been captured word for word and provided as reports linked here. The 2023 comments would not be able to translate over to a new draft document. 10. How do people who made comments on the Sept 2023 map know whether or not their comments were addressed in the July 2024 draft GP2045? We incorporated as many comments as we could maintaining generally consistency with process and criteria noted in the methodology reports. As noted in the workshop we always have to balance different perspectives and opinions about what individuals may desire. 11. Why doesn't the Planning Department have a list of the changes between the current GP land use map and the July 2024 GP2045 which clearly identifying the location of each change and the reason for each change, especially given the Planning Dept could not have prepared the draft GP2045 without having produced this information? We have just uploaded an interactive map on the General Plan project website, which we link below. It shows all areas that have proposed changes to the land use in a color and all areas that have not changed as white. Like the land use map, there is a pop-up information box that appears when you click on a polygon. General Plan Land Use Change Map is linked here. 3
