City of Vallejo, CA, CA

The City has prepared draft amendments to integrate environmental justice policies and implementation actions into the Vallejo General Plan 2040 in compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 1000, also known as the Planning for Healthy Communities Act.

SB 1000 requires cities to identify disadvantaged communities and incorporate policies that promote equitable access to resources, improve public health outcomes, and reduce exposure to environmental burdens.

Vallejo’s draft environmental justice amendments are informed by CalEnviroScreen data and prior community engagement efforts. The analysis identifies ten census tracts within the city that experience disproportionate environmental burdens and vulnerabilities. The proposed amendments would build upon existing General Plan policies and introduce updates intended to better address environmental health disparities and advance equitable outcomes citywide.
