The project area includes San Dimas City Hall, located on Bonita Avenue, and a future transit station platform, located between Bonita Avenue (north), Arrow Highway (south), San Dimas Avenue (west), and Walnut Avenue (east).
Document Description
The Proposed Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP) would establish a planning and zoning framework for encouraging transit-oriented development in the greater downtown area while preserving the character of the historic commercial district. The DTSP will encourage compact development near the new Metro Gold Line transit station to decrease automobile dependency, reduce both local and regional traffic congestion and related greenhouse gas emissions, and provide additional guidance and plans to increase multimodal access to and from the historic Downtown area. The DTSP project area includes several opportunity sites within walking distance of the transit station that provide significant potential for infill development and adaptive reuse of existing underutilized downtown properties. The Project would enable future development that would increase the development potential for downtown San Dimas in compliance with the vision of the City.
