Help Shape Fullerton’s Future – Take the Open Space &
Environmental Justice Survey!

Your feedback will directly guide the goals and policies in Fullerton’s Open Space and Environmental Justice Elements. By sharing your thoughts, you’ll help create plans that reflect what matters most to our community – cleaner air, safer parks, and healthier neighborhoods.

The City of Fullerton is updating its Open Space Element and creating its first-ever Environmental Justice Element within the General Plan to meet new state requirements. These updates will help ensure everyone in our city has access to healthy, safe, and vibrant spaces.

What’s changing:

New Environmental Justice Element (Senate Bill 1000):
Cities must now include environmental justice in their plans - focusing on reducing health risks, improving community participation, and prioritizing programs in areas that need them most.

Open Space Element Update (Senate Bill 1425):
Updates to parks and green space policies to reflect climate change, access, and future sustainability goals.
