VISION STATEMENT

Over the next 20 years, the Downtown and El Camino Real Specific Plan Area will be a series of livable and vibrant districts, each with a unique character and an active public life. The Plan Area will offer a mix of regionally- and locally-serving uses, range of housing choices, small and large office spaces, retail, cultural amenities, and entertainment. The Plan Area will prioritize access to transit, state-of-the-art mobility choices, and safe, comfortable, and inviting streets for residents and visitors of all ages.

the Guiding Principles are met by maximizing the development potential of vacant and underutilized parcels, and planning for well-scaled higher density development balanced with adequate community amenities, and mobility choices.

The Vision Statement for the Downtown and El Camino Real Specific Plan is an outcome of the multi-day community engagement process focused on the Specific Plan Area, and the Visioning Workshop for the General Plan Update.

The Plan Area envisions a variety of safe and well-designed public spaces such as plazas, parklets, paseos, courtyards for social gatherings, festivals, and civic events connected to each other with a well-developed pedestrian network.

The Plan Area will boast of buildings with highquality architecture, durable materials, and highperforming building systems.
