Petaluma General Plan Update
Petaluma, CA




Description
Raimi + Associates is leading a team of consultants to provide a comprehensive update to the City of Petaluma’s General Plan, in addition to preparing a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP). Located in Sonoma County, Petaluma is a vibrant river town known for its historic neighborhoods, agricultural traditions, and preserved open spaces. The General Plan Update and the CAAP will serve as a road map for the future of development in the city and address the community’s concerns about climate change, affordable housing, and public health.
For these reasons, Raimi + Associates is helping the City prepare a comprehensive update of the General Plan and its associated Environmental Impact Report. In addition to the nine topics mandated by the State, the General Plan Update will touch on additional themes such as economic development, health and equity, arts and culture, and sustainability and climate change.
