Welcome to the San Rafael General Plan 2040 Website!
The General Plan provides San Rafael’s vision for its future, including policies for the future growth and conservation of the city. It is a State-mandated document and covers topics such as land use, transportation, housing, open space, conservation, community design, and safety.
