General Plan: Building a New vision
About the General Plan

City of Duarte Housing The Comprehensive General Plan is a policy document which is long range and general in nature. It is comprehensive in that it addresses every aspect of a community from future land uses, retention of open spaces, traffic and circulation challenges, conservation of natural resources, community noise issues, safety concerns, and housing needs and supply. Along with the seven mandatory elements required by State law, the Duarte General Plan Update will also include a Historic Preservation Element and an Economic Development Element. California law requires that zoning, subdivisions, Capital Improvement Projects and many other local implementation tools be consistent with the General Plan. Because the General Plan is long range, costly and takes a long time to prepare, most cities update these plans about every twenty years. On August 14, 2007 the Duarte City Council certified the assicited Environment Impact Report and adopted the Duarte Comprehensive General Plan for the years 2005 through 2020. The prior  Duarte General Plan was adopted in 1993.

ParkThe Duarte City Council has made a commitment to solicit as much public input as possible by hiring Arellano Associates, a full-service community outreach consulting firm, to provide community outreach consulting services for the City’s General Plan update process. The General Plan update was headed by Art Rangel, Principal of Economic & Development Specialist, a community development consulting firm with expertise in City Planning, Economic Development and Redevelopment. Mr. Rangel, a certified City Planner, coordinated the entire General Plan process and its various consultants. Mr. Rangel was responsible for incorporating community input into the General Plan goals and policies and wrote the General Plan update.
