  • The San Ramon Land Use Element commits the City to an orderly land use development pattern that balances land use, housing needs, economics, transportation, environmental preservation, safety, and quality of life goals. It centers on the General Plan Land Use Diagram and a land use classification system that provide the foundation by which guiding and implementing policies shape land use and development decisions to maintain community identity and character over the next 20 years, and it discusses the evolution of land uses across the City's nine planning subareas. The Element recounts that Contra Costa County's 1958 General Plan designated 464 acres as 'controlled manufacturing,' which ultimately became the Bishop Ranch Business Park.

  • San Ramon's 2023-2031 Housing Element establishes the City's housing policies for the planning period of January 31, 2023 through January 31, 2031, guiding City officials in decision-making and setting forth an action plan to implement the housing goals consistent with the San Ramon General Plan and State Housing Element law. It complies with voter-approved Measure G (1999) and applies a 'smart growth' theme focused on reuse and intensification of existing sites within the core of the City to provide expanded housing opportunities. A significant workforce housing supply is proposed, primarily through redevelopment, to meet the City's share of regional housing needs.
