Title

Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan Update and Utility Master Plan Supplements

Description

Note: Per Lead Agency, FEIR inclusive of responses to comments can be viewed at: www.stocktongov.com/envisionstockton The City of Stockton is preparing a comprehensive update to its existing General Plan. The update is expected to be completed in 2018 and will guide the city's development and conservation through 2040. The project also includes the preparation of Utility Master Plan Supplements (UMPS). The UMPS will consist of separate documents that will identify needed improvements to water, wastewater, and storm drainage facilities to serve anticipated development under the updated GP. The 2040 GP Update will include revision to the policies of the existing GP and consider changes to land use designation within the EIR Study Area where change or enhancement of existing uses is desired through 2040. The draft revision to the GP land use map will shrink the possible future footprint of the city by changing areas currently designated "village," which allows a variety of urban uses, to Open Space/Agriculture, including within the Delta Secondary Zone, where development is subject to Delta Protection Commission review. The City's Housing Element was recently updated and adopted by the City Council on April 12, 2016, and is not included as part of the proposed project. The overall purpose of the 2040 GP Update is to create a policy framework that articulates a vision for the city's long-term physical form and development, while preserving and enhancing the quality of life for Stockton's residents. The key components of this project will include broad community goals for the future of Stockton and specific policies and actions that will help meet the goals.
