City of Fremont, CA Official Website

The Engineering Division, which falls under Public Works, consists of Design Engineering, Development Engineering, Construction, Civic Facilities, Transportation, Survey, and Real Property sections. The division reviews all proposed land development projects in the City and executes the design and construction of public projects such as streets, parks, and public buildings. 

Parks Planning and Design (formerly Landscape Architecture) is a part of Community Services

Every two years, the City adopts a five year capital budget, known as the Capital Improvement Program budget (CIP). Separate from the annual city operating budget, the CIP funds public infrastructure projects, including street repair, traffic improvements, civic facility construction and maintenance, and park development and maintenance.

Interactive Online Map

The City's Geographic Information System (GIS) Department maintains an interactive map that will allow you to view and download information.

The map consists of three panels: an information panel on the left of the screen, a layer panel in the center, and the actual map on the right. Finding information usually involves checking the correct box in the layer panel and zooming to the area or property of interest in the map panel. Downloadable files will normally appear in the information panel. The following is a guide on which layer to select for the type of information desired:

Notes about elevation information:

1. Contours on the GIS interactive map are on the NAVD88 datum
2. City benchmark records are on the NGVD29 datum (unless otherwise stated on the record)
3. Conversion: NAVD88 = NGVD29 + 2.75'
4. (FEMA Base Flood Elevations use the conversion: NAVD88 = NGVD29 + 2.76')
5. Elevations on design, grading, or improvement plans should match benchmark datums

The City of Fremont’s Standard Details provides guidance to staff and developers in the design, development and construction of improvements within the public right of way.
