BACKGROUND •
The City of Rosemead General Plan is a long-range planning program that is designed to guide
the orderly growth and development of the City over the long-term. The General Plan
communicates the City's vision of its future and establishes a policy framework to govern
decision-making concerning the physical development of the community. It also provides
assurances that the community at large will be supported by an adequate range of public services
and infrastructure systems.
Annual Progress Reports provide local legislative bodies with information regarding the
implementation of the General Plan and the Housing Element for their city or county. The
Annual Progress Reports are strictly reporting documents that do not create or modify any City
of Rosemead goals or policies found within the General Plan or Housing Element. Annual
Progress Reports must be presented to the local legislative body for review and acceptance. Once
