Each city in California is required to have a General Plan, which serves as a visioning document for how the City should grow and develop over time. The City of Clovis last updated its General Plan in 2014. The last decade has brought a wave of changes:  new housing developments have been built, business and industry needs are different, and the way people get around town has changed. The City’s General Plan now requires strategic updates to create a cohesive vision for the future of Clovis, including addressing land use holistically and reflecting changes to recent legislation and housing trends. The City of Clovis General Plan Update will provide residents, businesses, and other stakeholders the opportunity to provide input to help shape the direction of the City for the next twenty years.

Throughout the project process, the City will provide various opportunities for you to share your vision for the future of Clovis. The City needs your help to make the General Plan a success. What do you love about Clovis? What opportunities and challenges do you think face the City as it grows over the next 10, 15 or 20 years?
