The Towne Center Specific Plan

The Towne Center Specific Plan

The Project proposes a zone change and specific plan for the existing Towne Center, collectively referred to as the proposed Project. The City of Canyon Lake is looking to increase fiscal opportunities, incorporate residential uses, and redesign the existing Towne Center to attract local interest. The zone change proposes to change the existing zoning from General Commercial (C-1) to Mixed Use (MXU) in order to allow for residential usage and provide consistency with the existing General Plan land use designation of MXU. The Towne Center Specific Plan (TCSP) provides guidelines and requirements for future developments. The existing Towne Center is located in a Mixed Use General Plan Land Use category. The TCSP has divided the site into eight separate “Planning Areas”. Each of these Planning Areas provide a general guidance for primary use and redevelopment that are in accordance with the goals and objectives of the City of Canyon Lake. The eight Planning Areas include the following land uses; housing, commercial retail, civic uses, public plaza, and office space. Although a conceptual site plan has been prepared the TCSP allows developers to modify each planning area as long as they are consistent with the objectives of the plan.
