General Plan 2040

The City of Pacifica’s General Plan 2040 serves as the community’s long-range blueprint for preserving what residents value most while guiding responsible growth and investment through the year 2040. Adopted in 2022, the plan outlines the City’s vision for maintaining Pacifica’s unique coastal character, supporting economic vitality, strengthening infrastructure, and protecting the natural environment. It provides a framework for addressing the challenges and opportunities that come with climate change, housing needs, transportation improvements, and the stewardship of Pacifica’s scenic and recreational assets.

General Plan 2040 is both a policy guide and a community-driven roadmap. It reflects extensive outreach, public input, and collaboration across neighborhoods, stakeholders, and city departments. The plan identifies key goals, strategies, and programs that will shape decisions on land use, mobility, public facilities, environmental sustainability, and disaster resilience. As a living document, the General Plan is intended to evolve with community priorities and serve as a foundation for future planning, budgeting, and implementation efforts—ensuring Pacifica continues to thrive as a safe, vibrant, and resilient coastal community.
