River Walk Specific Plan

The City of Riverbank is implementing the River Walk Specific Plan, a comprehensive development project focused on expanding the city's Sphere of Influence by approximately 1,522 acres and annexing roughly 993 acres into the city limits. The project involves the extension of critical infrastructure and utilities to support a diverse range of land uses, including low, medium, and high density residential areas, mixed-use developments, and parks and recreation spaces. A Notice of Determination filed on September 23, 2026, confirms the official approval of the plan. The project's environmental impact was evaluated through an Environmental Impact Report, which concluded that the development will have a significant effect on the environment. Consequently, the city has adopted specific mitigation measures and a monitoring plan to manage these impacts. The project is managed by the City Planner and the Director of Community Development within the City of Riverbank, California.
