GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, WHAT'S NEXT? 
 

Over the past year, the City of Pasadena has heard the community's thoughts and concerns regarding growth, traffic, design and other topics.  Now it is time to map out draft land use and mobility alternatives in response to those comments.  To do that, the city is holding a multi-day intensive workshop, also known as a charrette.  The business community, property owners, residents and others are invited to participate in the charrette and share their thoughts on the evolving plan alternatives.

 

The charrette will kick off at the November 8 Council meeting and will continue later that week over a three day period on November 11th, 12th and 13th.

 

For more information, please visit Pasadena General Plan or Pasadena General Plan on Facebook.
