SANTA FE, October 26, 2023 – The City of Santa Fe’s Planning and Land Use Department has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to update the City’s General Plan. The General Plan is a comprehensive document that sets the City of Santa Fe’s official policies guiding the long-range planning of physical growth, community development, and public services, as well as the City’s goals for equity, inclusion, sustainability, affordability, and mobility. The General Plan is intended to capture the City’s vision of Santa Fe’s future and guide the advancement of the community. 

"We continue to make progress with the work of planning Santa Fe together. Balancing preserving our past with creating our future, this refresh of our General Plan—which hasn’t been thoroughly updated since 1999—is an opportunity for all of Santa Fe to participate in a public process of planning our community for generations to come. It’s exciting. It’s important. It’s happening now," said Mayor Alan Webber. 

The multi-year process for the General Plan update will be informed by robust community conversations around topics like growth planning and management, mobility and accessibility, adaptability, resiliency and sustainability, inclusion, and equity, and economic strength and opportunity, as well as other topics that are identified for inclusion in the plan. The Planning and Land Use Department is also working on a phased process to update the City’s Land Development Code (LDC) with community input, and the General Plan will guide the administration of the new LDC when it is finalized. 

The deadline for proposal submissions is Tuesday, November 28, 2023. For more information, click here to view and download the RFP.
