Vista 2035 General Plan
Project Description
The City of East Palo Alto has adopted the Vista 2035 General Plan and Zoning Ordinance on October 4th, 2016. Generously funded by the Strategic Growth Council, the general plan update targets improving the health of city residents and is therefore referred to as a "Targeted General Plan." Through land use policies and measures that are chosen by city residents, and closely aligned with 26 indicators that are associated with public health, the plan will be accompanied by a comprehensive revision of the zoning ordinance to implement the resident’s vision.
More information regarding the completed update process is available here.
