“It has been our experience that M-Group staff is extremely knowledgeable about issues pertaining to the General Plan update and community involvement process, and has exhibited both the desire and ability to tailor its approach to larger community-wide workshops in a way that is responsive to the goals established by the City for these meetings.”

—Tatum Mothershead, Planning Manager, City of Daly City

general plan update visioning process

As part of its General Plan Update, Daly City included a discrete visioning process as the first step. The visioning process was meant to ensure extensive community participation, engage the citizens in defining a vision for the future, and ensure that the long-term goal for the city reflected current and future community values. Principal Geoff Bradley of M-Group assisted Daly City staff with the General Plan Update by helping the General Plan Steering Committee, Community and City Staff provide initial Visioning and community prioritization work. A community-based visioning process was designed to establish a framework and provide direction to the update. M-Group was instrumental in facilitating the process, which included community workshops, a survey and focus group interviews.

The results of this process are detailed in a report available online at:
