The Planning Department is dedicated to facilitating your exploration of the General Plan Designation and Zoning information for properties within our community. However, our commitment extends beyond the realm of zoning ordinances and regulations. Our adept planning staff collaborates with both the community and various city departments to formulate comprehensive strategies and plans that contribute to the holistic development of our municipality.

Going beyond the technical aspects, our approach to planning is rooted in addressing the dynamic interplay of economic, environmental, and social considerations within the community. In striving for equilibrium among these often competing factors, the Planning Department actively participates in development reviews, community goal-setting initiatives, and the capital improvement processes. Our overarching goal is to foster sustainable growth and enhance the overall well-being of our community through thoughtful and inclusive planning practices.

Community Growth

Engaging our community in an ongoing dialogue, the Planning Division actively guides the trajectory of our expanding community, steering it towards realizing its full potential in Riverbank. The goals of the Planning Division encompass three key perspectives:

• Economic Stability: Focused on promoting financial resilience and prosperity within our community.
• Neighborhood Stability: Committed to fostering a secure and thriving residential environment.
• Resource Conservation: Dedicated to preserving and managing our natural resources effectively.

Think of these as informative bulletins, each encapsulating a crucial aspect of our vision for community growth. By addressing these perspectives, the Planning Division becomes your central hub for comprehensive information about the City, providing a user-friendly entry point for all your informational needs.
