City Of Delano 2045 General Plan Update

The City of Delano is undertaking a comprehensive update to its General Plan to establish a long-term vision for land use and development through the year 2045, replacing the existing 2005 General Plan. This update is mandated by California state law, which requires all cities to adopt a general plan that guides physical development within municipal boundaries and any adjacent areas pertinent to planning. The Delano 2045 General Plan Update will address all nine state-required elements: Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Open Space, Conservation, Noise, Safety, Air Quality, and Environmental Justice, ensuring the city’s growth and infrastructure align with current regulatory standards and community needs. The plan will shape future development patterns, transportation networks, housing availability, environmental protections, and public facility locations to support sustainable and equitable growth. The project is being led by the City of Delano’s planning department, with Jose Lara, Senior Planner, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and coordination. The update is currently in the forecast phase, with the posting date recorded as June 5, 2026, indicating the early stage of the procurement or planning process. The primary place of performance is Delano, California, with a zip code of 93215, and all activities will be conducted within or directly impacting the city’s jurisdiction. This initiative is pivotal for directing how the city evolves over the coming decades, balancing development with environmental stewardship, public health, and community resilience while ensuring compliance with state planning requirements.
