Scotts Valley Town Center Specific Plan Update

Scotts Valley Town Center Specific Plan Update

The purpose of the Plan is to create a vision, policies, and objective standards to guide new development within the Plan area in a way that supports existing and new businesses, residents, and the overall community. The Plan would manage and direct changes in development patterns within the Plan area through 2045 and guide present and future land uses, development intensity and scale, urban design, economic development, circulation management and mobility, infrastructure and public services, and community benefits. The project will allow for up to 657 residential units (consistent with the City’s Housing Element), up to 82,000 square feet of commercial uses, and up to 35,000 square feet of public/civic uses. The project will include adoption of amendments to the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, changing certain existing land use designations in the Plan Area, creating new zoning districts, and updating existing or establishing new development standards to replace some of the current zoning provisions applicable to the Plan Area.
