  • Oakley's Land Use Element describes the pattern and character of land development within the City and its proposed expansion area and provides direction for future development. It includes descriptions of geographic areas anticipated to be developed over the term of the General Plan, along with goals and policies to guide decision makers in reviewing development proposals, and it defines land use categories that support the Oakley General Plan Land Use Diagram. The element is viewed as the core of the General Plan and the most frequently referred to element, and the Land Use Diagram designates land uses for all lands within the City while visually depicting the community's intended physical form and areas for growth.

  • Oakley's 2023-2031 Housing Element Goal 1, Production of New Housing, is to provide adequate sites to accommodate the City's share of regional housing needs, including housing for special-needs groups, through appropriate zoning and development standards and, where appropriate, removal of governmental constraints. Action 1.1 commits the City to rezone adequate sites to accommodate the remaining RHNA of 434 lower-income units for the 2022-2030 projection period. The Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) District will be applied to at least 21.7 acres, establishing a minimum density of 20 units per acre and a maximum of 30 units per acre, and the City will distribute AHO sites more evenly across the city, including in higher-income areas to affirmatively further fair housing.
