In 2001, the City completed a comprehensive update of Pittsburg’s General Plan, setting forth a policy framework to guide the City’s long-term growth and development based on the community’s shared goals and aspirations for the year 2020. The City is updating the document so it can continue providing critical guidance through the year 2040.

2040 Adoption Draft General Plan (April 2024)

The 2040 Adoption Draft General Plan for the City presents a vision for the city and a strategy to make that vision a reality. The Plan is the result of hundreds of hours of public meetings and the collective efforts of residents, interested parties, business owners, and individuals from throughout the City who have articulated their hopes and expectations for the City’s future.

When a General Plan is written or amended, State law requires that the planning agency provide opportunities for public involvement through public hearings or other methods. Since public input is vital to the successful implementation of the 2040 General Plan, the city made a considerable effort to involve the public throughout the process.

On April 23, 2024, the Planning Commission will host a Public Hearing to receive comments and review the 2040 Adoption Draft General Plan.  At this hearing the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council for final adoption of the 2040 General Plan.  Please see below the proposed 2040 General Plan for review and consideration at the upcoming hearing.

2040 General Plan - April 2024

Electronic copies of the 2040 Adoption Draft General Plan are available for review during normal business hours at the Community and Economic Development Counter.

If you have additional questions, please contact John Funderburg, Assistant Director of Community and Economic Development, at (925) 252-4043, or by email at: jfunderburg@pittsburgca.gov.
