Section 65358 of the California Government Code requires that mandatory elements of the County General Plan be amended no more than four times during any calendar year.

The proposed land use designation changes comprise the first amendment of the General Plan Land Use Element for 2019. Both Projects have been considered in public hearings by the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors (Board). Therefore, the First Cycle Land use Element Amendment of the County General Plan is presented for final adoption, including the following Projects:
