SANTA CRUZ - The City Council heard plans Tuesday from staff about a proposal to increase housing density, support economic development and battle climate change during the next two decades. A few citizens also weighed in on the city's general plan through 2030, which will guide land use, natural resource protection, historic preservation and cultural development. The council took no action Tuesday, but will adopt the plan later this year. City staff said sustainability was the main lens through which the plan's goals and expectations were seen. The plan calls for greater mixed-use development along major commercial corridors, where access to public transportation is greatest, in an effort to reduce commuting and other vehicle trips.
