General Plan 2050 update
The city's first comprehensive plan update since 2005 is nearly done. It projects about 36,000 new homes and 60,000 jobs over 25 years, simplifies zoning categories, and adds an environmental justice element. Public review starts around June 1; adoption hearings are expected in the fall.
