Dyett & Bhatia

Dyett & Bhatia is honored to have won 2024 American Planning Association California Chapter Awards of Excellence for Comprehensive Planning for both Small and Large Jurisdictions -- Napa General Plan (small) and Sacramento General Plan (large). These are built-from-the-ground up, once-in-a generation plans for two of California's most distinctive communities. Many thanks to our clients cities #Sacramento and #Napa for having their confidence in us, and staff for their collaboration. Also thanks to the partner firms who provided invaluable help: AIM, BAE, DKS Associates, Dudek, EPS, Fehr & Peers, Goodwin Simon, ICF, Integral Group, Jarrett Walker, Page & Turnbull, Rincon, Veritable/Good, and West Yost Associates.

Honored to have Dyett & Bhatia projects receive four awards at the American Planning Association California section levels this year!

Especially gratifying given the small volume of work produced by our one office. #Oakland #Napa #Sacramento #Sonoma #APA #EnvironmentalJustice #Planning

Last Tuesday, the Sacramento City Council unanimously adopted a groundbreaking General Plan that charts the course for a sustainable and equitable future. The Plan incorporates innovative first-in-the-nation strategies to facilitate infill housing and mixed use development in a network of corridors and centers, laying the groundwork for frequent reliable transit. It also incorporates a robust, data-driven policy framework for promoting environmental justice and building resilience to urban heat and the effects of climate change. Thanks to the thousands of community members who contributed to the development of the General Plan and congratulations to City staff and the community as a whole on this milestone achievement. Proud of the contribution that Dyett & Bhatia made to this remarkable achievement. https://lnkd.in/gYHaPB3z

Oakland's first Environmental Justice Element was adopted unanimously by the City Council! https://lnkd.in/g9iBGDmG Dyett & Bhatia is pleased to have assisted the City--one of the country's most diverse--in this effort. The element's policies (as well as for Richmond EJ Element and San Pablo Health Element also prepared by D&B) are heavily featured as models in the example policies included with the SB 1000 Best Practices released by the California Attorney General last month https://lnkd.in/gg_mk3kU #environmentaljustice #EJ #SB100 #Oakland
