In 2000, the City of Hercules chartered an urban-design-based land use planning effort. This plan attempted to balance the preservation of the city's undeveloped land against continued suburban sprawl and to redevelop the city's formerly industrial waterfront.The resulting plan directs that Hercules be turned into a transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use town.
