Plan Orinda

Plan Orinda

Plan Orinda is comprised of the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element Update, Downtown Precise Plan (DPP), and revisions to the Environmental Resources Chapter (Safety Element) of the General Plan. The project also includes additional miscellaneous amendments to the General Plan, the Zoning Code, and the Zoning Map to maintain consistency with the Housing Element Update and DPP; and minor updates to the Growth Management Element of the Growth Management Chapter to be consistent with Contra Costa Transportation Authority guidance. Plan Orinda would provide a vision and planning framework for future growth and development in the city with an emphasis on intensifying land uses in a way that meets future housing needs in response to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation and bring the General Plan in compliance with State-mandated laws and regulations.
