The Guadalupe 2042 General Plan Land Use Element establishes goals aimed at preventing urban sprawl, improving infrastructure and service efficiency, and preserving community character and property values. It seeks a distribution of uses that protects residential neighborhoods and separates incompatible uses to reduce nuisance and improve health and safety, and it works to stabilize older portions of the city through historic preservation and blight removal. Other goals promote development of vacant and underutilized land, stable long-term commercial growth, a compact and walkable downtown reflecting the surrounding agricultural economy, and quality residential development affordable to all segments of the population.

Guadalupe's 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Housing Element sets Goal 1 of ensuring an adequate supply of affordable housing for all income levels. Its policies designate an adequate number of housing sites for rent and purchase to accommodate the City's share of regional housing needs for each income classification and adopt regulations that avoid adding unnecessarily to housing costs. Policies give high permit-processing priority to low-income residential projects and the highest priority to extremely low-income housing, support the Santa Barbara County Housing Authority and Section 8 assistance, pursue State and Federal funding, and require dispersal of low-income housing throughout new residential projects.
