Castro Valley General Plan

Because of file size restrictions, we can’t show the General Plan on the screen. We can provide a link for you to download the Castro Valley General Plan for review on your own computer. Here’s a brief intro straight from the plan itself:

The Castro Valley General Plan establishes a new vision and comprehensive plan for the next 20 years of the community. It has two primary purposes:

  • update the General Plan to take changing conditions into account, and
  • guide the future development of Castro Valley.

The previous General Plan for Castro Valley was adopted in 1985 and, while many General Plan policies are still relevant, the planning context and setting have changed. The new General Plan reflects the passage of Measure D, the initiative approved by County voters in 2000 that amended the County’s General Plan to establish an Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). That measure limits urban development in most of the rural areas of the county, including the canyonlands surrounding Castro Valley. The new Plan also implements amendments to the County’s Housing Element that the Board of Supervisors adopted in 2003 and updated in 2010. Together with these adopted policies, the new General Plan is intended to serve as the basis for regulating land use and development until the year 2025, which is the horizon year of the plan.
