City-Initiated Zoning Map and General Plan Map Amendment, AP-26-0009 (GP, RZ):

This is a City-initiated project to amend the General Plan Map and Zoning Map of approximately 96.15 acres of land within the North Central River Subarea of the General Plan. The public hearing for this item is a request for Planning Commission recommendation to the City Council for approval of the Zoning Map and General Plan Map Amendment. The proposed amendments are intended to support the implementation of the City's 2040 General Plan and economic development objectives and applicable State law. The Pittsburg City Council adopted the 2040 General Plan and certified the Final Environmental Impact Report on May 6, 2024, under Resolution Nos. 24-14464 and 24-14463. To ensure compliance with current CEQA Guidelines, the City is preparing an addendum to the 2040 General Plan.

The proposed Zoning Map and General Plan Amendments do not indicate a decision by the City to approve or disapprove any specific development project. All pending and future projects located on proposed rezone and General Plan map amendment sites will be required to process individual development applications with the Department of Community and Economic Development and undergo environmental review consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
