The San Ramon Community Development Department will host the 8th session of San Ramon Community Planning Academy in the fall of 2025. The goal of the Academy is to educate and engage residents in the City’s planning process. The Academy will provide an overview of why cities plan, how planning shapes our community, and the land use planning process.

The classes are anticipated to be held on 4 consecutive Mondays beginning September 8. Each class begins at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m., and will be held at City Hall. Following completion of the course, there will be a formal recognition of class participants at a City Council meeting.

The class is free, but space is limited to 20 residents, over 18 years of age.
