What if the results of the Blueprint Project conflict with local General Plans?
General Plans are not static documents. They change several times every month in various places throughout the region. Every local government General Plan will go through several minor and major updates over the 50-year time horizon of the Blueprint Project. Some local governments may decide to amend their General Plans based on new knowledge from the Blueprint Project. That will be their decision. SACOG has no authority to compel a local government to amend its General Plan. Several local governments have already indicated to SACOG that they have used Blueprint Project information to refine draft General, Community or Specific Plan documents. Other local governments have asked SACOG for assistance using Blueprint analysis tools to assist in updates to General, Community and Specific Plans in the near future.
