DRAFT GENERAL PLAN 2045 OVERVIEW Draft General Plan 2045 can be found on ImagineLivermore2045.org. The Introduction includes an index that describes each topic covered by Draft General Plan 2045 (included as Attachment 2). Draft General Plan 2045 is made up of a Vision Statement and Guiding Principles, text describing key issues of community interest, and goals and policies that outline how the City will address those issues into the future, supported by maps and diagrams. Draft General Plan 2045 covers all State -required topics and additional locally important topics identified by the community as being fundamental to the quality of life. Once adopted, All Draft Elements, both mandatory and optional, carry equal legal weight and are internally consistent.

Page 3 Noise, Safety, and Economic Development. Each Draft Element includes a set of goals and policies that guide how the City will address these issues. The Draft Plan includes an Implementation Plan which establishes actions to help the City prioritize work programs, allocate resources, and ensure that decisions are aligned with the community’s long-term vision. These goals, policies, and actions provide guidance to the City on how to direct change and manage resources over the next 20 years. Draft General Plan 2045 goes beyond the minimum State requirements and embodies the key themes of environmental justice and climate adaptation and sustainability. These themes are woven throughout Draft General Plan 2045, with policies and actions identified by icons. Draft General Plan 2045 carries forward some of the most important ideas in Livermore's current General Plan and other long-standing planning efforts by: • Maintaining and strengthening Downtown as the heart of the community. • Continuing the voter-approved Urban Growth Boundary. • Protecting the natural environment. • Promoting agriculture and conservation in South Livermore. • Integrating approved Specific Plans like the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan and the El Charro Specific Plan. • Supporting bicycling, walking, and transit. Draft General Plan 2045 also introduces new approaches to address current challenges and opportunities: • Climate Resilience and Sustainability. Integrates policies throughout the plan to address climate change adaptation, greenhouse gas reduction, water conservation, and sustainable development. • Environmental Justice. Ensures all residents have equitable access to services and safe and healthy places to live and play. • Economic Development. Advances and diversifies Livermore’s economy by strengthening existing businesses and facilitating the growth of an innovation economy. • Community Identity. Celebrates and protects Livermore's unique character shaped by science, agriculture, and arts. • Healthy Communities. Addresses access to healthcare, healthy food, childcare, and services for aging adults. GPAC FEEDBACK IN DRAFT GENERAL PLAN 2045 The GPAC provided input on General Plan policy topics over a series of meetings held between April and November 2024. Attachment 3 summarizes GPAC feedback, Planning Commission recommendation, and City Council direction on the policy topics. Throughout the course of the development of the General Plan development, the GPAC identified several key topics or themes that represented the communities interest. These included: • South Livermore and Agricultural HeritageATTACHMENT 1 7

Page 4 • Tourism and hospitality • Sustainability and Climate Adaptation • Science and Innovation • Multimodal transportation • Social fabric and Resilience • Revitalization of Commercial Areas These themes are integrated throughout the document to provide ample policy support and direction towards achieving the goals and general plan vision. Attachment 4 identifies each of these themes and where to find them throughout the Draft General Plan Document. COMMUNITY OUTREACH ON DRAFT GENERAL PLAN 2045 Since the Draft General Plan 2045 was published on February 20, City staff have been collecting community feedback. The project team will host a Draft General Plan Open House on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at the Robert Livermore Community Center from 6–8 p.m. This drop-in event will share how community input has shaped the draft plan. All comments received will be provided to the GPAC at its April meeting.
