About Community Development

The Mission of the City of Lathrop Community Development Department is
to promote and facilitate quality development and private investment
in the community that contributes to making our city a "Livable
Community". This includes development of a balanced community
consisting of a wide variety of housing types, retail businesses,
services, and employment centers, mixed use buildings, schools, and a
variety of parks and other recreational facilities. The Department is
focused on encouraging private reinvestment in Historic East
Lathrop as well as facilitating master planned development in new
communities west of Interstate 5, including the West Lathrop Specific
Plan and Central Lathrop Specific Plan area. The Department focuses
on economic development, short-range and long-range Planning for the
future of Lathrop and is responsible for all building services in the
community.
