Community Input Memo: Land Use Map Alternatives (June 2021)

The Community Input Memo (download the memo [pdf]) summarizes the input received during the Land Use Map Alternatives public outreach process. Community input was received through one stakeholders workshop, two community workshops, an online survey, and written public comment.

Land Use Alternatives and Capacity Report (March 2021)

The Land Use Alternatives and Capacity Report (download the complete report [pdf]) provides the City with a tool to examine different possible approaches to accommodate future development, economic growth, and ensure adequate protection of resources and open space. The report identifies three Land Use Map Alternatives and compares land use designations by acreage, growth (population, dwelling units, non-residential development, and jobs), and jobs-housing balance for each alternative.

Alternative A - Land Use Map (pdf)
Alternative B - Land Use Map (pdf)
Alternative C - Land Use Map (pdf)

The Report also provides an overview of how each alternative would affect five different focus areas (click here for a map of the five focus areas):

  • A: NRG Revitalization Site

  • B: Johns Manville/E. 3rd Street/Waterfront Area

  • C: Railroad Ave/Central Ave/E. 12th St/Solari Ave Area

  • D: Bliss/Clark/Garcia Area

  • E: Pittsburg City Plaza and Atlantic Plaza Area

Opportunity Areas Survey

As part of the Opportunity Areas Virtual Workshop held in August and September 2020, community members and interested parties were invited to provide their input on land use approaches for four opportunity areas, which also include two Brownfields Revitalization Planning sites. The Opportunity Areas Survey Results are available here (pdf).

Existing Conditions Report (November 2019)

The Existing Conditions Report provides a "snapshot" of Pittsburg's current trends and conditions as they existed at the start of the General Plan Update process. This report provides a detailed description of a wide range of topics within the city, such as land use, transportation, public facilities, community services, hazards and safety, conservation and environmental resources, climate change, and environmental justice issues associated with disadvantaged communities. The Existing Conditions Report is available in 6 parts:

Part 1 - Cover, Introduction, Chapter 1 - Land Use (pdf)
Part 2 - Chapter 2 - Transportation, Chapter 3 - Community Services and Facilities (pdf)
Part 3 - Chapter 4 - Hazards, Safety, and Noise (pdf)
Part 4 - Chapter 5 - Conservation (pdf)
Part 5 - Chapter 6 - Climate Change, Chapter 7 - Environmental Justice, Appendix A (pdf)

Economic Trends Report

The Economic Trends Report (pdf - updated 8/29/19 to correct Figure 3 and associated text) describes existing economic conditions, including patterns in sectoral employment, business activity, retail sales, and the commercial, office, and industrial real estate markets. The analysis translates projected employment growth into potential demand for new workspace during the General Plan time horizon.

Vision and Opportunities Report

In the Spring of 2019, the City of Pittsburg hosted three Visioning Workshops to understand the community's vision for Pittsburg’s future. The community was also provided opportunities to give input through a series of eight pop-up events, which were held throughout the community and hosted by City staff, and via an on-line survey. The feedback we received from the community has been summarized in the Vision and and Opportunities Report (pdf). The Vision and Opportunities Report summarizes the input from each event and provides the full results of each community participation activity at the Visioning Workshops and pop-up events, including comments provided by individuals and small groups, copies of maps prepared by small groups, and photos of activities, and complete results of the Envision Pittsburg survey.
