After an incredible turnout in April, City Council selected Plan A as the preferred growth model for Fresno. Plan A limited sprawl and focused on growth within the existing city.
Throughout the summer, FIRM staff have been busy getting ready for the policy phase of the General Plan conversation. We are working with our amazing community leaders to understand the plans and what the zoning will mean for our neighborhoods. The City of Fresno has decided to start the Environmental Impact Review process using the Maps, Goals and Objectives.
In order to do that, the Planning Commission and City Council have to approve it. To view the draft general plan, please visit fresno.gov/newplan and click the downloads tab. The City Council will discuss the General Plan Update at a special 5pm meeting on August 23rd. If more time is needed, they have also scheduled a special session on August 30th at 5pm.
