The City of Buena Park's Housing Element for 2021-2029 aims to ensure housing provision for all economic segments of the community. It outlines strategies to conserve and improve existing affordable housing, identify adequate development sites, assist in affordable housing development, remove governmental and other constraints, and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities. The plan seeks to meet current and future housing needs while preserving existing neighborhood character and offering diverse housing types.

This chapter of the Buena Park General Plan outlines strategies for community safety and security. It focuses on evaluating and mitigating public health and safety hazards, limiting risks, and minimizing losses from natural and human-caused disasters. Key strategic areas include reducing risks from seismic and geologic hazards, providing adequate flood protection, enhancing emergency management capabilities, minimizing threats from hazardous materials, fostering climate change resilience, and decreasing wildfire hazards. The plan aims to foster a safe and secure environment for residents and properties by anticipating and planning for potential emergencies and promoting preparedness and coordinated response.

This Climate Action and Adaptation Plan serves as a comprehensive roadmap for the City of Buena Park to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance resilience to climate change impacts. It sets targets to reduce community-wide GHG emissions by 107,278 MT CO2e by 2030 and 258,333 MT CO2e by 2045. The plan focuses on eight key opportunity areas: On-Road Transportation, Energy and the Built Environment, Off-Road Equipment, Water and Wastewater, Solid Waste, People and Community, Natural and Urban Lands, and Municipal operations, aiming to foster a sustainable, equitable, and resilient future for all residents.

This strategic plan for the City of Buena Park outlines a comprehensive roadmap to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance resilience to climate change impacts and other hazards. It integrates a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) and a General Plan Safety Element Update (GPSE). Key focus areas include on-road transportation, energy and the built environment, off-road equipment, water and wastewater, solid waste, people and community, natural and urban lands, and municipal operations. The plan aims to achieve carbon neutrality, improve environmental sustainability, and create a climate-resilient city by addressing GHG emissions, evaluating climate vulnerabilities, and implementing tailored measures and actions with a robust monitoring framework, targeting reductions by 2030 and 2045.

This document outlines the City of Buena Park's strategy to address its local emissions gap and achieve climate action and adaptation goals for 2030 and 2045. It details a comprehensive suite of measures and actions across several key opportunity areas, including on-road transportation, energy and the built environment, off-road equipment, water and wastewater, solid waste, natural and urban lands, and municipal operations. The plan aims to quantify greenhouse gas emissions reductions through initiatives such as promoting electric vehicles, enhancing active and public transportation, optimizing land use, decarbonizing buildings, increasing renewable energy, reducing water consumption, minimizing waste, enhancing carbon sequestration, and electrifying municipal operations.
