2024-2040 General Plan
The Montebello General Plan is a policy document that establishes the goals, policies, and directions the City of Montebello will take to achieve the vision of the community and guide the future development of the City. California law requires each local government to adopt a General Plan, which must contain at least seven elements: Land Use, Transportation (known as the Mobility Element), Housing, Conservation, Noise, Open Space, and Safety.
On April 10, 2024 the City Council adopted a comprehensive update to the General Plan (the “2040 General Plan”) which included an updated Land Use Element and Land Use Map. The General Plan elements listed below contain adopted policies that pertain to each topic. Per state law, the policies in each of the elements must be consistent with and complement one another.
Here is a list of the elements included in the 2040 General Plan:
- Our Natural Community
- Our Prosperous Community
- Our Well-Planned Community
- Our Accessible Community
- Out Healthy Community
- Our Safe Community
- Our Active Community
- Our Creative Community
- Housing Element (6th Cycle, 2021-2029)
