San Pablo General Plan and EIR
 
Community Garden

 
The last time San Pablo updated its General Plan was in 1996. While some areas of the city have changed very little over the years, others have undergone a significant transformation. Additionally, a number of new State and federal laws guiding Plan policies have come into effect since the last General Plan. A major revision of the Plan is therefore necessary to eliminate any obsolete elements, ensure legal conformity, and address new challenges.

The new General Plan responds to key ideas from the community and focuses on current and future community needs. The Plan establishes a new vision for the City, one that fosters mixed use development along the City's transportation corridors and protects San Pablo's environmental quality. In addition to the usual General Plan elements, the San Pablo General Plan is unique in that it includes an Economic Development Element that establishes policies to build a diversified job base, expand education and training, and develop regional attractions for the city. A Health Element is also included in the Plan to promote the physical health and emotional well being of San Pablo residents.

Other objectives not covered in the 1996 plan are addressed in the new Plan. These include managing the amount and extent of growth through a Growth Management Element, and promoting walkability through the Circulation Element.

In addition to the General Plan, D&B is preparing an EIR for the city. The EIR will mitigate any physical impacts of the General Plan and will be adopted concurrently with the General Plan.
