General Plan for the city of Folsom

Folsom's General Plan is a long term policy guide for the physical, economic and environment growth of the City. It is comprised of goals, policies and implementation programs which are based on an assessment of current and future needs and available resources.

California State Law requires each City and County to adopt a General Plan "for the physical development of the City or County, and any land outside its boundaries which ..... bears relation to its planning ( Government Code Section 65300)."

The role of each community's General Plan is to act as a "constitution" for the development, the foundation upon which all land use decisions are made. It expresses community development goals and embodies public policy relative to the distribution of future land use, both public and private( General Plan Guidelines, June 1987.OPR). The Plan is to be used by the local decision-makers as a visionary document, a "Blueprint" for the City's future growth and development.
