General Plan & Zoning Ordinance

NEW! The City of Tracy is beginning a comprehensive update to the General Plan and Title 10 of the Tracy Municipal Code. Visit the General Plan Update 2050 page for more information. 

The City of Tracy’s General Plan is a state mandated policy document that establishes a vision for the City’s future. This comprehensive land use and development document provides a framework for decisions about how Tracy grows and provides public services, while protecting and enhancing the community. The General Plan is organized into ten chapters, called Elements, each focused on a specific topic area. The Housing Element is published separately from the main General Plan document.

The current General Plan was last updated in 2011. State law requires cities to periodically review and update their General Plans to ensure they reflect current needs and priorities.
