- CKings Canyon Corridor Transit-Oriented Development Connectivity Study
- The Kings Canyon Corridor Transit-Oriented Development Connectivity Study serves as a tool to evaluate and demonstrate what mixed-use development along the Ventura / Kings Canyon Corridor looks like and how it works. This Study is grounded in economic and market feasibility of different development types and scenarios. Ultimately, the Study serves as a toolkit that businesses, landowners, residents, city leaders, and other stakeholders can use as the city grows.

- DCentral Southeast Area Specific Plan
- The Specific Plan is a long-range planning document that provides a vision for growth and development in the Specific Plan Area over the next 20 to 30 years. The proposed Specific Plan would address a wide range of topics that impact the quality of life in the community, including affordable housing, jobs and economic development, transportation, parks and open space, and a healthy environment. The proposed Specific Plan would address community needs and guide future public and private development to create a more vibrant, attractive, equitable, and healthy community in a way that builds upon the social and cultural strengths of the existing Specific Plan Area. The Specific Plan is a continuation of the recent Downtown Neighborhoods Community Plan, adopted in 2016, picking up where the Downtown Neighborhoods Community Plan left off along the northwestern boundary. The proposed land use designations of the Specific Plan are consistent with the General Plan; however, the proposed Specific Plan includes land use changes that would reclassify some parcels to match uses currently on the ground that are likely to remain for the foreseeable future. These changes would facilitate the revitalization of vacant lands or facilities along the Kings Canyon Corridor, reduce oversized parking lots near the Maple Avenue and Butler Avenue intersection, and develop underutilized land near the Cedar Avenue and Butler Avenue intersection. The Specific Plan would also create higher intensity mixed-use infill opportunities along priority corridors and at key opportunity sites, strengthen neighborhoods that provide a range of office types, and include office, clean tech, and other non-nuisance employment generating uses that provide a buffer between industrial neighborhoods.

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.
