In November 1991, the RDA adopted the Redevelopment
Plan for a Project Area of approximately
2,000 acres. As a part of this Project Area adoption, a Master Plan
and an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) were also approved. The
purpose of the Master Plan is to provide a policy guideline document
to identify specific types of land uses that the Agency should
encourage and promote within the entire Project Area.
With that Master Plan, the RDA Project Area has been
transformed. Many of the goals and visions for the RDA were met in
wonderful way. In July 2004, the Agency Board selected EDAW, Inc.,
an urban planning firm, to create an Update to the RDA Master Plan.
The purpose of the Update is two-fold: (1) To reflect the changing
face of the Project Area and, (2) To set the vision for the next
10-15 years for the Project Area.
On October 9, 2007, the Agency Board adopted an
Update to the RDA Master Plan and approved its Final Environmental
Impact Report (FEIR). The Updated Master Plan identifies strategic
directions for the future of the Redevelopment Project Area. It
integrates design, planning and implementation methods into an
improvement plan and provides Project Area recommendations for land
use, zoning, parking strategies, and design and development
standards. The Master Plan also includes a Safety Campus design for
the Fire and Police Departments for future facilities in the
Downtown area.
