Town Center Specific Plan

Town Center Specific Plan

The proposed Town Center Specific Plan (Specific Plan) is a long-range land use plan that establishes the City’s vision for the Specific Plan Area as a regional destination incorporating a balanced mix of uses. The City’s goals for the Specific Plan are to create a balance of residential, commercial, dining, and entertainment uses; facilitate the creation of great placemaking; create a flexible framework for future development; and create a practical and buildable plan. In general, the Specific Plan would encourage mixed-use development and promote a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, integrating different land uses and creating a walkable community, where a variety of housing options are developed alongside businesses and community facilities. The Specific Plan would also emphasize improved access to the McBean Regional Transit Center, thereby increasing housing choices for people who prefer convenient access to transit services. The Specific Plan envisions the development of nodes within the Specific Plan Area, which includes, programable gathering space and other smaller gathering spaces, such as public plazas, courtyards, amphitheaters, pedestrian streets, parklets, children’s playgrounds, and parks.
