GUIDING PRINCIPLES SUMMARY
PROPOSED LAND USE FOR THE SOUTHWEST
FRESNO SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
Provide a mix of high quality housing types located close to amenities, with an emphasis on single-family housing that is affordable to a mix of household income levels. Encourage new housing that is compatible with the community character and historic architecture of Southwest Fresno.
Attract retail to serve Southwest Fresno residents and reduce vehicle miles travelled. Retail needs include department stores, restaurants, healthy grocers, and services. Discourage the expansion of potentially controversial retail establishments such as liquor stores and short-term loan shops.
Refine the standard for what is defined as “parkland” to include truly usable parks, as opposed to standards that include unusable spaces in ponding basins or parkland located on landfill or toxic sites. Prioritize improving existing parks with better and more amenities. Provide parks that are safe, healthy, social, and active spaces for residents especially families and youth, to visit.
Prepare, mentor, and train Southwest Fresno residents, including youth, to become better qualified for existing and future employment oppor - tunities within Southwest Fresno and encourage a shift from unskilled, low-wage jobs to skilled, higher-education jobs. Locate employment uses so that they do not conflict with residential areas, but are still con- veniently accessible by various modes of transportation and located near retail and regional access points.
Provide visible, complete, safe, and regularly maintained transporta- tion infrastructure, such as roads, crosswalks, sidewalks, and traffic lights. Connect and expand access to regional transportation networks and locate transit on routes near residential areas that provide access to desired destinations. Accommodate both motorized and non-motor - ized modes of travel for people of all ages and abilities.
Locate new industrial development away from Southwest Fresno res - idential neighborhoods. Increase transparency and communication between government representatives, residents and stakeholders re - garding proposed industrial uses and/or improvements. Restrict the proximity of truck routes near residential areas to the maximum extent feasible.
