Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the 2030 General Plan, Climate Action Plan, Crane

The purpose of the Draft EIR is to assess the environmental impacts associated with the update of the City of Oakdale 2030 General Plan, a Climate Action Plan, and two specific plan projects (Crane Crossing Specific Plan and Sierra Pointe Specific Plan) consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA requires that all state and local government agencies consider the environmental consequences of programs and projects over which they have discretionary authority before taking action on them. The City of Oakdale is the lead agency for the project, and the Oakdale City Council, as the lead agency’s decision-making body, will consider the information presented in the EIR before taking discretionary action on the project.

Community Workshops

The City held the first General Plan Update Community Workshop on November 10, 2009. Please click here to view and download presentation materials and input received from the Workshop.

Technical Background Report

The first major step in the General Plan Update process is the establishment of baseline conditions and trends in the City. The Technical Background Report (TBR) provides a descriptive profile of the City of Oakdale's existing conditions and serves as the "environmental setting" for the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The TBR presents the physical, social, and economic information required to support the preparation of the general plan. It serves as the foundation document from which subsequent planning policies and programs will be formulated. The Oakdale TBR is based on data and information available as of August 2009.
