On June 13, 2023, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2023-25 Work Plan outlining key projects aligned with their Strategic Priorities. One of the City led priorities is a comprehensive update to the Downtown Precise Plan (P-19)

The current Precise Plan was adopted in 1988 with subsequent minor updates. This project will update the vision and mix of land uses, develop objective development standards and streetscape standards, and evaluate and update design, parking, and signage regulations. 

The following steps in the process are complete:

• Fall 2023: Confirm scope and goals of project at a Council Study Session
• Winter 2023-24: Hire consultants
• 2025: Conduct community outreach and existing conditions analysis

On January 27, 2026, the City Council put this project on temporary hold to address SB 79, a state law that prescribes maximum density near major transit stops. Starting in 2027, the City will begin work on this project again, with the following additional steps:

• Study Sessions with EPC and Council to determine project alternatives; begin environmental review
• Conduct additional outreach, hold additional study sessions, draft plan and conduct environmental review
• Anticipated Adoption
