Envision Contra Costa

Zoning Code Update

Comprehensive Zoning Code Update

Building on the 2045 General Plan, Envision Contra Costa is undertaking the first comprehensive update to the County’s Zoning Code (Title 8 – Ordinance 382) since its initial adoption in 1947. The update will align the Code with the County’s long-term vision in the 2045 General Plan, creating a clearer, more intuitive framework to support environmental justice, community health, economic development, and sustainability. It will also include related amendments to Titles 2 (Administration) and 9 (Subdivisions) to ensure consistency and usability for both County staff and the public. The process began with the Zoning Update Report, which identifies current issues and recommends revisions and improvements. You can view the report below.
