Pittsburg is focused on transforming its downtown into a vibrant gathering area with updated zoning codes to diversify business types, including medical offices and salons. This shift responds to changes in shopping patterns, aiming to enhance foot traffic and support existing businesses. The 2040 General Plan, adopted by the City Council in May 2024, seeks to create a community destination with mixed-use developments and pedestrian-oriented spaces. Community workshops have been conducted to gather input on these initiatives, promoting a more streamlined approach to development projects.
"For my entire tenure here at Pittsburg, it has been a hot-button issue. Originally, when all the investment went in downtown, I think there was a hope that it would be able to thrive almost completely off restaurants and retail businesses."
"The plan's purpose is not to be a 'wholesale rewrite' but merely a refresh to create a 'more streamlined approach and improve permitting processes for development projects.'"
