California Government Code Section 65300 requires that each city adopt a General Plan to guide the long term physical development of the City. The General Plan document reflects the community's intentions about land use and its relationship to vehicular and pedestrian circulation, housing open space and recreation, noise, public safety and resource conservation and environmental protection. The Laguna Woods General Plan was adopted on October 16, 2002. It has been updated on several occasions. The last section updated was the Housing Element in February 2009.  Click on the tiles below to view the City of Laguna Woods General Plan.
