Draft Land Use Framework

Overview

ThHelp Shape Oakland's Draft Land Use Frameworke Draft Land Use Framework for Oakland’s General Plan Update connects the community’s vision for the city with updates to topics like land use, transportation, parks and open space, and public facilities. It explains how we can meet community priorities, such as adding more housing and services near transit and jobs, taking better care of parks and open spaces, making streets safer, and improving public transit.

The Draft Framework builds on the community’s preferred Option, “City of Neighborhoods,” by encouraging walkable, mixed‑use neighborhood centers with housing, services, transit access, and community spaces across the Town. It also includes top ideas from other Options, like adding taller buildings along major streets to support better transit and improving access to the waterfront.

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