Walnut Creek General Plan Community Workshops, Urban Design Element, and EIR

City of Walnut Creek

Walnut Creek General Plan Update for the City of Walnut Creek. Walnut Creek’s three-year General Plan update process was a highly collaborative effort involving City staff, a diverse consultant team, and active participation by local residents. DC&E worked on several aspects of the project, including:

• Leading a series of eight community workshops to present information and solicit feedback from community members on specific components of the Plan.
• Preparing a new Urban Design Element for the General Plan, which will provide information on the City’s unique features and characteristics that define its character and urban fabric.
• Preparing visual simulations of new development that would be allowed under the General Plan.
• Coordinating a team of technical consultants to prepare a series of background reports on community facilities and services, parks and recreation, hydrology and water quality, geology and soils, hazardous waste, air quality, noise, biological resources, and cultural resources.
• Assisting in the development of goals and policies in each of these issue areas listed above.
• Preparing a full EIR on the General Plan.

DC&E’s work on these multiple aspects of the General Plan Update ensured a high-quality, coordinated effort on the project.
