Newspaper articles on growth, housing, land use, or other topics of a similar nature. District or local agency Right-of-Way staff members. Consistency with State, Regional, and Local Plans and Programs Provide a subheading for each plan. The project’s consistency with the following types of plans needs to be considered and discussed either at the beginning of Chapter 2 under topics considered but not relevant or in this section: Transportation plans/programs (MTPs/RTPs and MTIPs/RTIPs). Regional growth plans (if proposed or adopted). Habitat conservation or similar regional conservation plans. General and community (both city and county). Often, the number of adopted plans and policies for a particular area can be quite large. Care should be given to analyze only those plans or policies that are relevant to the project. When preparing the environmental document, it is typically necessary to analyze only the consistency of the project with the required elements of the General Plan for cities and counties, which include: Land Use Housing Noise Circulation and Transportation Public Services and Facilities Economic Development Conservation and Open Space Specific development proposals or specific (specific planning area maps, tentative maps, etc.). Environmental Consequences Assess and discuss the consistency of the alternatives with the applicable state, regional, and local land use, transportation, and habitat conservation plans and programs adopted for the area. Analyze each project alternative separately, including the no-build, and consider using a table or matrix to present a comparison of the alternatives for each plan or program.
