Project Overview

The San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan will primarily focus on land use policies and economic development programs, such as allowed uses, development standards, employment, and industry trends. The plan will outline programs and policies to encourage and support diverse housing, commercial activities, and public amenities. The plan will also assess the conditions and needs of different transportation options like public transit, biking, and walking and summarize potential parking and loading impacts in coordination with existing public improvement processes.
