YOUR CITY 2050

Help Shape the Future of Rancho Cordova

Rancho Cordova’s General Plan Update

Welcome to the City of Rancho Cordova General Plan Update website! As we embark on updating our General Plan, this site serves as your resource to provide input, track progress, review documents, and engage in this important project.

Our current General Plan from 2006 no longer reflects today's realities. With new housing, evolving business needs, and changing transportation habits, it's time to prepare for the future. What will the next 20 years bring for Rancho Cordova amidst state and regional trends? How will new technologies reshape our lives?

Your input is crucial. Share your vision for Rancho Cordova's future. What do you cherish about our city? What challenges and opportunities do you foresee? Participate in open houses and online discussions to ensure our updated General Plan reflects the values and priorities of all residents and businesses. Together, let's shape the future of our community. Learn more HERE.
