1.3 TECHNICAL BACKGROUND REPORT<br />

• Purpose<br />

The purpose <strong>of</strong> this document, the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Inglewood</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Technical<br />

Background Report (TBR), is to serve as a comprehensive database that describes the<br />

<strong>City</strong>’s existing conditions for physical, social, and economic resources. This information<br />

includes discussion <strong>of</strong> the existing characteristics, trends and forecasts, and issues<br />

associated with each resource. The planning issues, which were identified based on<br />

existing conditions, will be presented as a separate document. The TBR is the foundation<br />

document from which subsequent planning policies and programs will be formulated. In<br />

addition, the TBR will serve as the “Environmental Setting” section for each technical<br />

environmental issue analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report, which will be<br />

completed as a component <strong>of</strong> the preparation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>General</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>.<br />
