Preferred Land Use Map Survey (April 16 to May 12, 2021)
The City of Thousand Oaks conducted its fourth online community survey for the General Plan Update, TO2045, from April 16 – May 12, 2021. The City sought feedback on the preferred land use map, which identifies the proposed land use designations for the comprehensive update to the Thousand Oaks General Plan. The preferred land use map was developed following an extensive public engagement process on three land-use alternatives. The engagement process included a detailed survey with over 2,100 responses, a public workshop, four two-hour-long office hour sessions, two meetings with the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC), and a Planning Commission workshop. The City received thousands of comments on the alternatives from individuals and organizations in the City. Based on the extensive public comments, City staff and the consultant team prepared the preferred land use map for public review and comment.
