- Utilities and Community Services
- Safety
- Noise
- Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
- Community Health and Wellness

Preferred Land Use Map
In October 2019, the City Council provided final direction on the Preferred Land Use Map. The Land Use Map identifies allowed uses and densities on every parcel of land within the City. View the Preferred Land Use Map (pdf).
Community Profile
To prepare a meaningful General Plan, existing conditions must be understood and documented. This Community Profile (pdf) summarizes key development patterns, natural resources, socioeconomic conditions, and environmental constraints in the city that must be considered when charting the course for Milpitas' future.
Land Use Alternatives Report
The Land Use Alternatives Report (pdf) provides the City with a resource tool to examine different possible approaches to accommodate future development, economic growth, maintain fiscal sustainability, and ensure adequate protection of resources and open space.
Existing Conditions Report
The Existing Conditions Report (pdf) takes a "snapshot" of Milpitas' current (2017) trends and conditions. It provides a detailed description of a wide range of topics within the city, such as demographic and economic conditions, land use, public facilities, and environmental resources. The Existing Conditions Report provides decision-makers, the public, and local agencies with context for making policy decisions.
Draft Policy Sets
The first step in preparing each updated General Plan Element is the preparation of a draft Policy Set. Each draft Policy Set includes Goals, Policies, and Actions that represent the core of the associated General Plan Element. These Draft Policy Sets have been prepared for the review of the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC). Based on input from the GPAC on each policy set, a draft General Plan Element will be prepared that incorporates the GPAC's recommendations. Each General Plan Element will include Goals, Policies, and Actions that will guide the City's decision-makers and will also include introductory pages explaining the purpose, intent, and scope of the respective element. The General Plan Elements will also include graphics, maps, and other items such as call-out boxes with definitions of key terms. Draft Policy Sets will be posted here when they are provided to the GPAC for review.
