The City of Rocklin General Plan guides physical development of the land and expresses community goals allowing growth to meet community needs, while preserving environmental and historical integrity. Adoption of the first General Plan corresponded with the population boom and expansion of business and industry that began in 1974. Becoming popular as a place to live and do business, the City of Rocklin updated the General Plan in 1991 to reflect the diversifying character of the community. Rocklin General Plan • Map

Current Proposed Rocklin General Plan Update In 2002, the City Council once again began an update of the General Plan. A Citizens Advisory Committee (GPAC) was established, to engage the community in planning for Rocklin’s future. In 2004/2005 the Planning Commission and City Council conducted confirmation meetings to provide preliminary direction regarding the contents of the General Plan Update document that was forwarded by the GPAC. The 2005 Draft General Plan Update document incorporates this preliminary direction and will be the project that is analyzed in an environmental impact report (EIR). Preparation of the Draft EIR for the General Plan Update is currently underway. Future hearings regarding that document and the draft General Plan are expected to begin in 2007. Persons wishing to be informed of all meetings and hearings regarding the General Plan Update and EIR should contact Laura Webster at the Community Development Department 916.625.5160 and ask to be added to our mailing list.
