Under State law (Senate Bill 379) the City is required, upon adoption of the LHMP, to review and update the general plan safety element as necessary to address climate adaptation and resiliency strategies applicable to the City, or incorporate the hazard plan by reference. This review and amendment to the Pleasanton General Plan is anticipated to be brought to the City Council later in 2024.
