Document Description: The Shadelands Gateway Specific Plan's Land Use Framework section establishes the overall vision, and more specifically, provides refined direction for the types of land uses that should occur and how these uses will be allowed to develop within the Project Site. The Orchards at Walnut Creek development is the proposed development that will constructed within the Project Site. The Shadelands Gateway Specific Plan is more broadly framed than The Orchards at Walnut Creek development, because it will include statutorily required elements such as overall land us and development standards, design guidelines, and implementation measures. The processing of The Orchards development, along with all associated entitlements, will proceed concurrently with the processing of the Specific Plan.
