Project Description
The applicant, Primestor Development, Inc., is proposing the creation of a Specific Plan for the project site that is bounded by Imperial Highway to the north, Norwalk Boulevard to the west, Avenida Manuel Salinas to the east and Civic Center Drive to the south.
The project seeks to create a specific plan for the project area that sets the development standards and regulations for future development to occur. The proposed project seeks to implement the City's 2018 Economic Development Opportunities Plan, which identified the project site as an area for the promotion of economic development by revitalization of the project site with the development of a vibrant community-focused development. The proposed project to be described in the specific plan includes the construction of a mixed use development with residential, commercial, and open space uses on the location of the current City Hall Lawn and surface parking lot. Up to 350 residential units with associated amenities and up to 110,000 square feet of commercial uses would be developed.
