Planning and zoning: general plan: zoning regulations: charter cities.
The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city, and of certain land outside its boundaries, and requires the general plan to contain specified mandatory elements, including a housing element. That law sets forth various procedures and requirements with respect to the preparation and adoption of the general plan and housing element, including requiring the legislative body to adopt or amend a general plan by resolution by a majority vote of the total membership of the legislative body. Existing law deems the adoption of the general plan to be reviewable, provides for the preparation of specific plans for the systematic implementation of the general plan, and prohibits the approval of local public works projects and tentative or parcel maps, as specified, as well as the adoption or amendment of a zoning ordinance within an area covered by a specific plan, unless it is consistent with the adopted specific plan. Existing law prohibits the adoption or amendment of a transit village plan unless the plan or amendment is consistent with the general plan. Existing law specifies that these provisions of the Planning and Zoning Law relating to general plans and housing elements generally do not apply to charter cities, but requires a charter city to adopt, by resolution of the legislative body of the charter city or, if the charter so provides, the planning commission, a general plan that contains the mandatory elements required by that law and to comply with specified additional requirements relating to reporting to the Department of Housing and Community Development and low- and moderate-income housing in the coastal zone.
