Reasons for the General Plan Update

The City of Foster City is currently in the process of updating the City of Foster City General Plan. A new General Plan is required to address the changing needs of the City and its residents. The update of the Foster City General Plan (adopted in 1993) is necessary because many of the objectives stated in the existing General Plan have been met (for example: The Marlin Cove and Port O' Call redevelopment projects are currently underway). Since the goals and objectives of the existing General Plan have already been met, a new General Plan is required to address new planning issues that will emerge. The updated General Plan is intended to be a map for the future that will guide the development and growth of the City while maintaining and enhancing the quality of life.
