The individual elements of this General Plan (Land Use, Mobility, Economic Development, Community Safety, Natural Resources, Hazards, Education, Community Health, Facilities/Services, and Housing) contain policies and programs that will guide future development in the City.
This General Plan Annual Progress Report was prepared by the Development Services Department - Planning Division with input from various City Departments, including Public Works and Utilities, Fire, Police, Library Services, Maintenance Services, and the City Manager’s Office. The report is intended to provide information on the measurable outcomes and actions associated with the implementation of all the General Plan elements.
