Elements · 2 Verifier-checked summaries

  • Santee's Land Use Element establishes a framework to direct the physical development of the City and to organize the City's environment, with the Land Use Plan indicating the intentions for development, redevelopment, growth, and preservation of public and private properties through the year 2020. It establishes the function and form of the City because it is a composite statement of the goals, objectives, policies, and programs of the other General Plan elements. It serves as the primary vehicle for ensuring the logical organization of residential, commercial, industrial, and public facilities, and for encouraging the timely provision of public facilities to meet community needs, while giving decision-makers and citizens a clearer understanding of the City's long-range intentions.

  • Santee's Housing Element is part of the City of Santee General Plan 2020, which was adopted on August 23, 2003 and comprises nine elements: Land Use, Housing, Mobility, Recreation, Trails, Conservation, Noise, Safety, and Community Enhancement. The Housing Element is being updated in conformance with the 2021-2029 update cycle for jurisdictions in the SANDAG region and has been reviewed with the rest of the General Plan to ensure internal consistency. Pursuant to new State law, the City concurrently updated its Safety Element to include analysis of fire, flood, geologic, seismic, traffic, and public safety hazards and policies to reduce potential loss of life, along with environmental justice issues and climate change adaptation and resilience.
