4.4 General Plan Summaries
General plans are comprehensive development and land use plans developed and approved by
municipal legislative bodies to establish policies concerning the future of development. California state
law requires that general plans have the following seven elements: circulation, conservation, housing,
land use, noise, open space, and safety, as defined in the California Government Code (Title 7, Division
1, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 65302). Transit planning should be an element in most general plans in
order to ensure transit plays an effective role in the community’s land use policies and vision. General
plans can effectively establish a direction for short and long term transit planning and service design.
A summary of current General Plans in effect in the Omnitrans service areas is included in Appendix D.
The summary includes an overview of the general plans for the Cities of Chino, Chino Hills, Colton,
Fontana, Grand Terrace, Highland, Loma Linda, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands,
