The Vision Plan is a key pivot point in the transition of the 2011 City Specific Plan into the upcoming updated Specific Plan. The vision focuses on developing a unique visual identity and public realm character that aligns with state, regional and city-wide goals. A key departure from the previous Specific Plan is the prioritization of historic corridors, including rail corridors and an old river channel to connect the Downtown Core to the riverfront.
Transforming these corridors into a city-wide network of greenways, repositioning warehouse and light industrial uses into a diverse, art-focused and mixed-use district. Another distinction of the plan is a focus on Riverfront development opportunities that have a unique, intimate and active relationship with the river.
Instead of bands of parallel riverfront setbacks, the vision emphasizes sectional and perpendicular relationships with the river, directing desirable views, programming, active transportation, natural cooling breezes and native planting from the river into the heart of the district.
