Document Description
Note: Review Per Lead
The WBSP was adopted by the City in 2005. The WBSP was intended to guide future development within the Whittier Boulevard corridor and facilitate change in development patterns within the project area. The primary goal of the 2005 WBSP was to bring forward the true character of the City within the Whittier Boulevard corrior, by developing tightly-woven neighborhoods, distinct residential uses, and extensive streetscape improvements. The 2005 WBSP include measures to redefine and redistribute land uses, implement infrastructure improvements, and provided a range of updated design standards.
Subsequent to the adoption of the 2005 Specific Plan, the City Council directed City staff to provide limited amendments to provide clarity in development standards and permitted land uses, correct mapping errors and provide modifications/re-designation of the Specific Plan's Commercial Expansio/Auto Sales Segment. Additionally, amendments to public improvements, including landscaping standards meeting Caltrans requirements, will be incorporated into the revised plan.
