Let’s explore general plan of Richmond.

What is the purpose of the General Plan?

The General Plan identifies our community’s land use, circulation, environmental, economic, and social goals and policies. The General Plan also informs residents, developers, decision-makers, and other cities and counties of the “ground rules” that will guide development in Richmond.



Why do we need to update the General Plan?

General Plans are not intended to be static and unchanging. They are usually updated as the community changes and new opportunities and challenges arise. The Richmond General Plan was last updated in 1994. Our community has grown and changed over the past twelve years, however, and the existing plan is now outdated and does not provide the direction we need to address the tough issues facing our city today. By updating the General Plan we can ensure that we preserve our resources, enhance our community’s character, and support our neighborhoods.
