Plan Update Process

Following completion of the 2008 Community Visioning Process, the City and project team embarked on a multi-year update of Mountain View's General Plan.  Engaging the community is a critical part of this process and opportunities to participate will be ongoing. The General Plan Project Advisory Committee (PAC), Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) and the City Council are also guiding the process.

The first phase of the General Plan update included a comprehensive Current Conditions Report that will provide a technical foundation for the new General Plan. Next, the project team held two series of local planning area workshops in spring and fall 2009 to inform the development of land use alternatives, goals and policies. 

Two citywide workshops were held this July 2010 to present major General Plan goals, citywide policies and direction for key planning areas. Following these workshops there will be a series of City board and commission meetings to review the community's input along with the draft General Plan policies and key planning area direction. The EPC/City Council will convene in the fall to confirm policy direction and a preferred land use alternative. Next, the EIR analysis will commence and the staff/consultant team will begin to draft the General Plan document.
