San Bruno's Land Use & Urban Design Element provides the General Plan's land use and physical development framework, including a summary of the city's current land use pattern, land use classifications, the Land Use Diagram, and guiding and implementing policies for land use and urban design. Because new development under the General Plan is limited to key infill opportunity sites, such as some commercial corridors and areas surrounding the planned San Bruno Avenue Caltrain station, its concepts focus on compatibility and integration between old and new uses. The community's vision emphasizes protecting existing neighborhoods, promoting Downtown as the symbolic heart of the city, revitalizing aging commercial uses, and fostering transit-oriented development around the BART station and the planned new Caltrain station.

San Bruno's 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element states that the City has modest fiscal resources but is committed to improving local housing conditions and exceeding State requirements where possible. It contains extensive analysis of housing needs, constraints to housing production, the sites inventory, fair housing assessments, public engagement, and previous accomplishments, and consists of an executive summary, an introduction, and a housing plan that lists goals and specific programs to address local housing issues over the next eight years. A Technical Background Report is attached with detailed information and analysis, and the element notes that Housing Element law requires local governments to adequately plan to meet existing and projected housing needs.
