Updates regarding the plan were communicated through mailers sent to all property owners and tenants in the project area in August 2023, February 2024, and July 2024. City staff also regularly canvassed Tower neighborhoods. Throughout the planning process, 24 Implementation Committee meetings, two workshops, eight subcommittee meetings, and seven pop-up events were held, all of which were public meetings. The Plan includes guiding principes which focus on: enhancing the livability and social diversity of the Tower District, nurturing the relationship between residential neighborhoods and vibrant commercial areas, shaping the character of new development to complement Tower District's character, providing effective transportation access, increasing opportunities for recreation, and promoting environmental sustainability and climate resilience. The Draft Specific Plan was released for a 30-day public comment period from July 12th, 2024, to August 12th, 2024. For more information, please visit www.fresno.gov/tdsp.

Meeting disruption policy

Meetings are conducted so everyone — in the room and watching or calling in remotely — can take part. A person who disrupts a meeting in person may be removed after a warning. Under California SB 707, if a service disruption within the City’s control cuts off the public’s ability to participate remotely, the body takes no further action on agenda items and recesses for at least one hour while staff make a good-faith effort to restore access; the meeting resumes only once remote access is back.
