Title: Hollister 2040 General Plan, Climate Action Plan, and Agricultural Lands Preservation Program
Description: Hollister’s existing General Plan was adopted in 2005, with a horizon year of 2023. Since the horizon year is approaching, the City is now updating its plan to extend the planning period to 2040. The proposed Hollister 2040 General Plan will build off the current General Plan and provide a framework for land use, transportation, and conservation decisions through the year 2040. The proposed 2040 General Plan will direct future growth within the EIR Study Area. The General Plan is intended to respond to local and regional housing needs, foster economic growth and local job creation, enhance civic identity and placemaking, and protect sensitive natural resources. The proposed Climate Action Plan will identify strategies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated by existing and future uses in Hollister. The proposed Agricultural Lands Preservation Program will ensure the benefits of agricultural activities are maintained by requiring that activities that convert existing agricultural lands to non-agricultural uses (i.e., urban uses) directly address that loss through a program that funds agricultural conservation easements.
