Temecula City Council Selects General Plan Advisory Committee

On September 23, 2025, the City Council appointed 18 community members to serve on the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC). The GPAC is a citizen-based, ad hoc committee that includes residents, business and property owners, and key stakeholders in the community. GPAC members represent the community's interests and serve as liaisons between the General Plan Update project team and the general public. The primary role of the GPAC is to provide insight to the General Plan Update project team on how to address key issues and understand community needs, review and provide comments on work products, and help to build community support for, and engagement with, the General Plan Update process.

Temecula Mayor Brenden Kalfus states, "The City's General Plan is a critical legal document that will dictate Temecula's development over the next 20+ years including land use, circulation, growth management, public safety, and other vital topics that affect us all." Mayor Kalfus adds, "We congratulate the members of the GPAC for participating and encourage all residents within the City to provide feedback to this important advisory committee on the General Plan Update."

The GPAC is an advisory body and will not make decisions or take actions. Rather, they will make recommendations to the project team, Planning Commission, and City Council on the General Plan Update. The GPAC will meet up to eight times between October 2025 and December 2026. GPAC meetings are open to the public to observe, comment, and participate in activities. Additionally, GPAC meeting materials and recordings will be shared via the project website for public review.
