Planning: General Plan and MEIR Documents

In California, the General Plan has often been described as a "blueprint for future growth" or a "constitution for future development" of a community. The General Plan for Modesto is best described as "a set of instructions on how to build a city." This concept is further underscored by our General Plan's full name, the Modesto Urban Area General Plan.

An Environmental Document must be prepared for a “project,” as defined by state law, disclosing impacts that are likely to result from the project. The City made various administrative amendments to the Urban Area General Plan and updated the Master Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan. The Master Environmental Impact Report describes the various impacts that are likely to occur as the Urban Area General Plan is developed.
