The Planning Division is committed to developing creative and practical solutions to help achieve a city that is sustainable and a great place to live, work and play. We help protect property rights and preserve the environment as well as our valued history.

The Planning Division is responsible for: 

  • Developing long-range plans to achieve creative and innovative solutions to challenges. Plans may be city-wide, like the General Plan Ingredients for Success, or apply to a smaller area like the Mission District Specific Plan or the Valley Boulevard Neighborhoods Sustainability Plan;
  • Implementing the community vision expressed in the plans through development review, zoning compliance, and resource conservation initiatives;
  • Helping applicants make property improvements, build new homes, or open new businesses;
  • Facilitating public outreach and notification for large new development;
  • Engaging the community in preparing plans and special studies;
  • Preserving the community's character through historic preservation; and
  • Providing focus and coordination for San Gabriel Goes Green and other sustainability initiatives.
