This meeting is regarding the General Plan Amendment (GPA) 26-0001 adopting the City of Poway Safety Element. This is an amendment to the Safety Element of the General Plan, initially approved by the City Council in 1983 (GPA93-01), with a major General Plan Update and Master Environmental Assessment in 1991. The City of Poway Safety Element, which is part of the City’s General Plan, defines goals, policies, and strategies which will guide the City. By State law, a City’s Safety Element must be updated in order to periodically assess the changing safety needs of the community and establish an action plan to address these needs to further the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan.
