 Welcome to the General Plan Update Website
The County’s General Plan is undergoing its first comprehensive update since it was last adopted in 1993. This update is necessary to plan for growth in the next planning cycle (2005-2030) as well as to address new emerging planning issues. Some of the topics to be addressed in the
Update Project can be found here. Twenty six Board Workshops, twelve focus groups and ten large community workshops have been held to date.

Planning Commission Workshops
and Adoption Hearings
Sacramento
County
recently consolidated the Policy and Project Planning Commissions into a single
County Planning Commission. While previous discussions regarding the County’s
General Plan Update process occurred with the former Policy Planning Commission,
all future discussions and hearings will occur with the new County Planning
Commission. As such, Planning staff held a short series of informational
workshops with the new County Planning Commission to provide the Commissioners
with an overview of the scope and major themes of the Draft 2030 General Plan
and related efforts, as well as a summary of the process to date.
A series of adoption hearings will begin before the Draft 2030 General Plan is
forwarded for adoption hearings with the Board of Supervisors. All future
workshops and public hearings with the Planning Commission will be held at 5:30
p.m. in the Board of Supervisors’ chambers at 700 H Street in downtown
Sacramento. Hearing dates with the Planning Commission are scheduled for June 8
and June 22 with tentative dates on July 13 and July 27 if additional hearings
are necessary.
The agenda and materials for workshops and hearings will be
posted to this website
approximately one week in advance.
