From General Plan policies to on-the- ground development projects, how can health be integrated into planning and design practices to support the daily pursuit of
healthy choices and lifestyles? This session will explore leading edge tools to promote physical activity and access to healthy foods. We’ll first focus on General Plan policy, with information from the Governor’s Offce of Planning and Research’s General Plan Guidelines update effort and examples on how the General Plan can set the stage. We’ll then explore how Health Impact Assessments can inform development project decisions and be used to effectively engage community members and leaders. Lastly, we’ll examine how careful review of Zoning Codes, Design Guidelines, Specific Plans, and Conditions of Approval can guide projects by addressing both physical activity and food access to bring healthy living within reach of all people.
