General Plan
City of Rocklin General Plan Documents
The City of Rocklin General Plan guides physical
development of the land and expresses community goals allowing
growth to meet community needs, while preserving environmental
and historical integrity.
Adoption of the first General Plan corresponded with the population boom and expansion of business and industry that began in 1974. Becoming popular as a place to live and do business, the City of Rocklin updated the General Plan in 1991 to reflect the diversifying character of the community. The most recent comprehensive update was in October of 2012.
Notable amendments were completed in 2015 to address Urban Levels of Flood Protection (consistent with the Central Valley Flood Protection Act) and to incorporate the 2016 Placer County Local Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan into the Rocklin Community Safety Element by reference. Additionally, the City’s Community Safety Element, as well as, the Community Safety Action Plan and Housing Element were comprehensively updated in 2021.

The North Rocklin Circulation Element (NRCE) consists of a draft circulation system referred to as the Base Circulation Plan plus the Long Range Planning Options. The NRCE also includes all circulation improvement projects that are currently contained in the Rocklin General Plan.
The North Rocklin Traffic Study poses a variety of transportation planning options for community consideration and evaluates the ability, as well as the desirability, of those options to accommodate traffic demands at build-out of the City.
