California State law requires all cities and counties to have an adopted general plan. This general plan serves as the blueprint for the community’s future growth and development. The general plan must address certain issues which are directly related to and influence land use decisions.
The Merced Vision 2015 General Plan is organized into eleven chapters which cover the major issue areas affecting the City’s future growth. The heart of each of these chapters is the goals, policies, and implementing actions (see Sections I.V and I.VI).
Other highlights of the Introduction include:
A description of the preparation process of the Merced Vision 2015 General Plan;
A brief history of the growth and development of the City of Merced from 1870 to the present;
A table that shows where each of the State-mandated requirements may be found in the Plan;
Descriptions of local and regional planning agencies; and,
Information about administering and amending the General Plan over time.
