What is the General Plan?
The General Plan is the City’s long-range policy document for growth, land use, transportation, sustainability and resource and open space conservation. The current General Plan was adopted in 2004 and looks out to the horizon year 2025. The traditional planning period for updating the General Plan is 10-20 years. At approximately 17 years old, the General Plan needs updating. Local conditions have changed somewhat since preparing the last General Plan, which can have an influence on local policy. The General Plan update offers the community and City Council an opportunity to re-evaluate existing policies and develop new ones that address shifts in community priorities, technologies, and current land use and real estate market trends.
Get Involved!
As part of the planning process the City and its consultant team will be hosting a wide variety of community events through various platforms and formats to hear from you and get a broad array of opinions and insights. The schedule and timing of these events is still being developed (please check back later – or send an email to GPUpdate@cityoflivermore.net to receive updates)!
In addition to a broad community discussion, the City is seeking qualified applicants to serve on the General Plan Advisory Committee. The Committee will review and provide feedback throughout the update process, serve as liaisons to the broader community, and advise the project team on effective outreach and engagement. The Committee will be comprised of 15 members and 4 alternates who live and/or work in Livermore. The Committee will remain in place from Fall of 2021 until the adoption of the General Plan in late 2023 or early 2024.
