Notice of Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and Scoping Meeting for the Downtown Vitalization Specific Plan Marina, California

The Marina Downtown Vitalization Specific Plan focuses on the Downtown area of the City of Marina, establishing a development framework for land use, circulation, utilities and services, resource protection, design, and implementation through: 1) A cogent vision for the future; 2) Clearly articulated land uses and development regulations; and 3) Appropriate design standards and guidelines. The Specific Plan builds on the goals and objectives from the City of Marina General Plan, as well as the standards and regulations from the City of Marina Municipal Code. However, amendments to the General Plan land use designations would be required to ensure consistency with those introduced within the Downtown Vitalization Specific Plan. It is required that all subsequent projects including commercial developments and redevelopments, subdivisions, public works projects, and zoning regulations be consistent with the Specific Plan. The proposed project also incorporates recommendations from the City’s Downtown Vision Plan, Downtown Design Guidelines, and Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan.
