MARYSVILLE, CA (MPG) - The City of Marysville has announced the availability of the Draft General Plan and associated Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 2050 General Plan update. Both documents are available for public review and comment through Nov. 12.

The State of California requires cities to create and adopt a General Plan. The General Plan sets the long-range vision for the City and must include certain mandatory topics, and contains a declaration of goals, objectives, and programs that guide and establish the future physical form and development of the city. 

The General Plan provides guidance on where and how the city responds to and prepares for change. It is the foundation city departments, and the city council use to determine policy priorities and make informed decisions on projects and city investments.

This is the first comprehensive update to the city’s General Plan since 1985.  This update will cover the timeframe to the year 2050.

A public hearing on the draft plan is scheduled to be hosted by the City Planning and Historic Preservation Committee at their meeting on Oct. 23 at 6 p.m. and will be held in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 526 C Street.
