Murrieta General Plan Update

The City of Murrieta is updating the General Plan, a document that will shape private and public development in our community for the next 25 years.  It will be a blueprint for a future that reflects our community values, hopes and visions. The General Plan is a policy document required by the State of California that guides development and forms the basis for City services, ordinances, and regulations. 

This comprehensive update of Murrieta’s General Plan is an opportunity to ensure that this important document addresses contemporary policy issues and creates a foundation for Murrieta’s future economic prosperity. The General Plan Update is intended to support the Council’s 20-year vision that Murrieta will be a diversified business hub for the region, by directing public investments in infrastructure and promoting the development of shovel-ready sites.
