Get involved in the Envision Pittsburg General Plan Update!

Pittsburg wants to hear from you! There are lots of ways for you to get involved with the City’s General Plan Update. Come to one of our community events or participate in a Planning Commission or City Council study session or hearing. 

Your input is very important and what we hear from you and your friends and neighbors will be used to prepare a General Plan for the city that truly reflects the community’s vision and values. Sign-up here to receive periodic updates on the project and hear about new ways to get involved. Your email address will remain private and we will not share it with anyone else.

Housing Element Update

Concurrently with the General Plan Update, Pittsburg is preparing its 6th Cycle Housing Element. The Housing Element is anticipated to be adopted in Spring 2023. Under State law, every city and county in California is required to update its Housing Element to address specific requirements and submit the element to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Housing Element serves as Pittsburg’s framework for meeting the housing needs of our residents, at all economic levels and addressing segments of the population with special housing needs. The Housing Element will include:

·         Assessment of the unique characteristics of Pittsburg’s population and households
·         Inventory of sites suitable for residential development
·         Assessment of financial and programmatic resources
·         Analysis of constraints to housing production
·         Affirmatively furthering fair housing analysis
·         Comprehensive set of goals, policies, and programs to address current and projected housing needs
