This is a public hearing on a city-initiated request for approval of five Zoning Map Amendments to implement new land use designations consistent with the 2040 General Plan Land Use Map, as required by Government Code Section 65860. The Pittsburg City Council adopted the 2040 General Plan and certified the Final Environmental Impact Report on May 6, 2024, under Resolution Nos. 24-14464 and 24-14463.

The proposed Zoning Map Amendments do not indicate a decision by the City to approve or disapprove any specific development project. All pending and future projects located on proposed rezone sites will be required to process individual development applications with the Department of Community and Economic Development and undergo environmental review consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
