General Plan Update: Share Your Feedback on Land Use Framework

Published on December 18, 2025

Hello Oakland community,

We are proud to release the Draft Land Use Framework for Oakland’s General Plan Update. This Draft Framework shows how we can achieve the priorities communities have shared with us over the last few years, like including adding more housing and services near transit and commercial hubs, improving maintenance of parks and open spaces, enhancing street safety, and ensuring more reliable public transit.

The Draft Framework builds on the community’s preferred Option from last year’s Options Report, “City of Neighborhoods,” by fostering walkable, mixed-use neighborhood centers that bring housing, services, amenities, transit access, and community life together across the Town. It also includes the most popular ideas from the other Options presented, such as higher density along corridors to support more frequent transit service and increasing access to the waterfront.

Does this plan reflect what your community needs to thrive?

Let Us Know What You Think!

The Draft Framework is open for public feedback from March 9 through April 23.
