The City of San Carlos recognizes that this period of rapid change presents both challenges and opportunities. In recent years, the City has undertaken a number of studies on various aspects of change in the downtown. To build on this, the City has determined the need to undertake a Downtown Visualization Process that will lead to a set of Urban Design Guidelines for the downtown. A three-dimensional computer rendering that allows the community to See the Vision of their preferences and alternative development scenarios in an objective way. Community Workshops, through which citizens can see downtown imagery, discuss development opportunities and constraints, and express their design preferences.
Citizens can Follow the Progress of workshops and Get Involved at many levels.
A set of Urban Design Guidelines intended to codify the vision of the community. These guidelines will be submitted to the City Council for adoption at the conclusion of the Visioning Process. Developers and citizens will be able to Read the Guidelines to inform themselves on the City's vision and requirements for future development.
