Community plans provide more specific guidance for how land may be used and developed in Fresno County’s unincorporated communities. They build on the County’s General Plan by focusing on each community’s conditions, priorities, and future needs. Community plans help guide decisions about housing, transportation, roads and utilities, public services, and natural resources.
Fresno County is updating the Riverdale Community Plan to reflect current community conditions, priorities, and long-term needs. The update will be developed with input from Riverdale residents, property owners, businesses, service providers, and other interested community members.
All meetings will be held at the Riverdale Unified Community Education Center and via Zoom from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Riverdale Unified Community Education Center: 3160 W Mt Whitney Ave, Riverdale, CA 93656
As part of the Community Plan update, the County is seeking input from property owners within the Riverdale Community Plan area. During the Community Plan update, your property may be included in a land use designation change and/or rezone effort by the County at no cost to you. The General Plan, Community Plan, and the Zoning Ordinance dictate what types and sizes of buildings can be built, how those buildings interact with surrounding buildings or parcels of land, and the purpose for which the parcel or buildings occupying that parcel can be used. By changing your land use designation and/or rezoning your land, you would be changing the allowed use on your parcel which could make it easier to develop. If you own property within the Riverdale Community Plan area, please complete the survey below:
