Cotati General Plan Update

Last updated: January 10, 2012

Cotati's General Plan has not been comprehensively updated since its adoption in 1998. The General Plan is an important planning tool, and is required to by state law to be be updated from time to time. This comprehensive update will ensure that information in the General Plan is current and that the General Plan's goals, action items, and land use plans are consistent with the community's vision for Cotati's future. The General Plan Update will take approximately two years. Throughout the update process, community involvement is welcomed and encouraged. Workshops and meetings will be held on a regular basis and the public will be invited to comment on the draft General Plan elements and the environmental impact report.
