SUMMARY
In 2014, the Council adopted the Hayward 2040 General Plan (General Plan). The General Plan is a long-range comprehensive planning document that regulates land use and activities in the City through 2040. The individual elements of the General Plan (Land Use, Mobility, Economic Development, Community Safety, Natural Resources, Hazards, Education and Lifelong Learning, Community Health, Public Facilities & Services, Environmental Justice and Housing) contain goals, policies, programs and actions that guide future development, actions and investments in the City based on the community-led vision developed during the General Plan process.
California Government Code Section 65400 requires that local jurisdictions annually review the General Plan and housing related approvals and permits at a public meeting and provide a progress report to the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI). This annual report was prepared for review and acceptance by the City Council and will be forwarded to LCI and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to ensure compliance with State reporting requirements.
This General Plan Annual Progress Report was prepared by the Planning Division with input from all Divisions within Development Services, Public Works - Engineering, Transportation, Utilities & Airport, Fire, Police, Library Services, Maintenance Services, Community Services, and the City Manager’s Office.
