What is a General Plan?

A General Plan is a guide that sketches out all the important details needed to create a thriving, well-balanced community. In Napa County , the General Plan has been instrumental in preserving agriculture and keeping urban uses in urban areas. The updated General Plan will keep these over-arching goals and also help define:

• Ways to address the need for housing people of all income levels

• Ways to support the continued viability of our world renown wine industry and an overall healthy economy
• Ways to make the best use of open space, trails and recreational facilities
• Ways to protect the natural environment and ensure the safety of residents in case of natural disasters
