General Plan Update
Lemon Grove last updated the General Plan in 1996 and over the past 20 years the City has changed, development standards have changed, and the community’s wants and needs have changed. In 2015, under the City Council leadership, City staff partnered with graduate students from the California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly SLO) Design Studio Team to conduct community outreach, create a community profile and put together a draft general plan update. The Cal Poly SLO team working in conjunction with a City Council-appointed ad hoc focus group set out to build a community profile that will shape the ideas that will be considered as part of the General Plan. Over 1,000 community members participated in various outreach efforts held over the course of five months. Additionally, two focused workshops were held to gather specific input on community design and economic development, as well as street development and circulation around town.
