Document Description
State law requires all municipalities to adopt and periodically update a general plan that provides a comprehensive, long-range statement of the jurisdiction’s land use policies for the coming decades. State law also requires general plans to address different topics that affect our daily lives, such as housing, land use, transportation, climate change, natural resources, community health and safety, and public services and amenities.
The existing San Mateo General Plan 2030 (General Plan 2030) was adopted in 2010 and included a horizon year of 2030. Many of the community issues vetted in General Plan 2030 are still relevant, well addressed, and do not require major change. General Plan 2040, therefore, builds off of the current General Plan 2030 by incorporating the topics that are now required by State mandate, such as climate resiliency, equity priority communities, community engagement, and sustainability, and revising relevant policies and actions to meet those requirements. Policies under these new topics include prioritizing the development of a climate change adaptation plan; providing access to healthy food in equity priority communities; and promoting inclusive outreach methods that encourage broad representation.
General Plan 2040 also incorporates regional forecasts for 2040, thus moving the planning horizon forward by 10 years. Development potential under the proposed General Plan 2040 would result in 48,040 new residents, 19,760 new housing units, and 15,000 new jobs. A Technical Update to the City’s 2020 Climate Action Plan was also prepared concurrently with the General Plan 2040. The update ensures consistency with General Plan 2040 and aligns with new State laws and best practices, including Assembly Bill (AB) 1279.
