The Community and Economic Development Agency, Strategic Planning Division, in coordination with the Planning Commission, maintains the General Plan and the Planning Code, and prepares area plans. The current General Plan adopted in 1998 and in effect until the year 2015, defines the long range goals and intentions of the community regarding the nature and direction of future development within the City of Oakland. The Planning Code specifies land uses and development standards for specific zoning districts. Area plans are intended to translate General Plan policies into sustainable development alternatives in specific areas of the City.
