Implementation consists of actions taken to carry out the Countywide Plan policies and continue progress toward achieving the Countywide Plan goals.  The actions include initiatives by the County as well as decisions that involve public and private development projects, investments, and programs.  This Plan excludes actions or activities that are already part of the County’s current workflow unless there is to be a substantive change, such as an expansion, elimination, or development of new rules.

To focus County resources, this Implementation Plan consists primarily of actions that are essential over the next 1 to 5 years. This Implementation Plan should be reviewed and updated on an annual basis to determine whether any current activities fall short or additional actions are needed to support the Countywide Plan goals and policies. Note that this Implementation Plan works alongside the Tracking & Feedback system, which includes additional actions associated with the tracking and feedback on priority objectives.

Timeframe

The amount of time during which the action should be initiated and completed. The reference year for the timeframe field of this Implementation Plan is 2021.

Immediate: the highest priority; should be initiated within the first year of the action being listed in the Implementation plan and completed as soon as possible (which may take multiple years).

Short-term: a high priority; should be initiated within the next 3 years and completed as soon as possible.

Mid-term: a priority; to be initiated when appropriate resources and opportunities are available; should become a higher priority after 3 years and be initiated and completed within the next 5 years.

Reference Code

The short code assigned to the implementation action for reference purposes and to distinguish it from a goal, policy, or other component of the Countywide Plan. For example, in IMP-2021-DC-1:

• The first part stands for the part of the Policy Plan – the Implementation Plan or IMP.
• The next part references the year in which the implementation action was first published in the Implementation Plan—in the example “2021”.
• The next two letters reference the category – in the example “DC” for Development Code Update.
• The number at the end helps further identify the action and distinguish it from others (note that the number does not indicate priority) – in the example “”1″”.

Action

The statement of activity to take place. The statement begins with a brief descriptor to help the user quickly understand the specific focus of the action. The longer narrative that follows starts with a verb to indicate the nature of the activity. The balance of the narrative may take the form of a sentence fragment or a full sentence.

Lead

The primary agency/department/division responsible for initiating and spearheading the execution of the implementation action. Unless otherwise noted, the default reference is to a County entity.

Support

An agency/department/division that will assist the lead entity or should be included in the execution of the implementation action. Unless otherwise noted, the default reference is to a County entity.

Related Countywide Plan Content

A list of the most relevant content from the Countywide Plan (CWP). The list generally includes policies, tables, and maps from the Policy Plan, but it may also include references to content from other parts of the Countywide Plan.

Related Development Code Content

A list of the most relevant parts of the Development Code (as of August 2020) that should be reviewed and updated per the implementation action.

Additional Notes

References to other parts of the Implementation Plan or other County documents. Policies from the 2007/2013 Community Plans that were replaced by the Policy Plan and Community Action Guides (CAGs) are listed to illustrate additional detail for specific unincorporated communities. The policies from the 2007/13 Community Plans are listed using the County’s previous reference code, with the prefix indicating the community, followed by the element, followed by the policy number. For example, LV/LU 2.1 is the reference for Policy 2.1 from the Land Use Element of the 2007 Community Plan for Lucerne Valley.

IMP-2021-DC-1  Land use compatibility. Update development standards and guidelines regarding scale, buffering, and other site design criteria to ensure greater land use compatibility of new development with existing uses, planned uses, and the natural environment. Special attention should be given to the interface with industrial uses. Do not permit new hazardous waste facilities to be developed in unincorporated EJFAs (EJFAs). Evaluate other limitations or restrictions that may need to be applied to uses or facilities that manage and/or transport hazardous materials but are not designated as hazardous waste facilities.
