PUBLIC DRAFT FULTON CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN READY FOR YOUR REVIEW

The public draft of the Fulton Corridor Specific Plan (FCSP) is now available for your review and comment.  Please click here for more information and to view the document.

The Fulton Corridor Specific Plan (FCSP), along with the accompanying form based Downtown Development Code, is both a visionary document that lays out the community’s long-term goals for the Plan Area, as well as an implementation tool for immediate and midterm actions needed to achieve the long-term vision.  It provides detailed policies concerning a wide range of topics, including land use and development, historic resources, the public realm, transportation, and infrastructure.  These policies provide the foundation for urban and economic growth, as well as the basis for the City to make the tough daily choices regarding growth, historic preservation, housing, transportation, the environment, community facilities, and community services.  It provides predictable and clear regulations, reduces development costs, and alleviates uncertainty, making good projects easier to build Downtown.

To kick-off the public review process, the City of Fresno will hold a series of public meetings to unveil the public draft FCSP.   The meetings will be conducted by a committee appointed by the Mayor and City Council, the Fulton Corridor Specific Plan Community Advisory Committee (FCSPCAC).  It is anticipated that the FCSPCAC will make the recommendation to initiate the formal plan adoption process at one of these meetings.
