SUMMARY
In 2014, the City Council adopted the Hayward 2040 General Plan (General Plan). The General Plan is a long-range comprehensive plan that controls and regulates land uses and development in the City through 2040. The individual elements of this General Plan (Land Use, Mobility, Economic Development, Community Safety, Natural Resources, Hazards, Education & Lifelong Learning, Community Health & Quality of Life, Public Facilities & Services, Environmental Justice and Housing) contain goals, policies, programs and actions that guide future development in the City.
California Government Code Section 65400 et seq requires local jurisdictions to annually review the General Plan and to provide a progress report for the previous calendar year to the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and State Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1. The 2024 Annual Report was prepared for review and acceptance by the Planning Commission and City Council and will be forwarded to OPR and HCD to ensure compliance with State reporting requirements.
This General Plan Annual Progress Report was prepared by the Planning Division with input from various City Departments and Divisions including Public Works and Utilities, Fire, Police, Library Services, Maintenance Services, and the City Manager’s Office, and provides status updates related to activity conducted in the reporting year of 2024 for all Programs of the General Plan.
