The City is updating the community plan in order to help shape the future of Clairemont for the next 30 years and beyond.​
​
The Clairemont Community Plan Update will serve as the long-range vision for land use, mobility, urban design, public facilities and services, natural resources, historic and cultural resources and economic development. This plan update envisions the development of active, pedestrian-oriented areas to support opportunities for homes, jobs, and mixed-use development near transit. The plan update also focuses on retail and employment centers, residential areas, parks and public spaces, and bus rapid and light rail stations. The Community Plan Update envisions a mobility network that serves vehicles and encourages walking, bicycling and transit use. It acknowledges the natural network of canyons and open spaces as an integral part of the community.
This initiative focuses on the following priority areas of the Strategic Plan.
Create Homes for all of Us
Focuses opportunities for housing within mixed-use and residential areas.
Protect & Enrich Every Neighborhood
Protects canyons and open space as sensitive habitat.
​
Identifies opportunities for public spaces and pocket parks, trails, and joint-use facilities.
​
Provides guidance for the future identification and preservation of historical resources and districts that embody architectural and cultural history.
Advance Mobility & Infrastructure
Identifies mobility infrastructure opportunities that improve connectivity for people walking, rolling, biking and using transit.
Champion Sustainability
Promotes opportunities for urban greening and streets trees to address stormwater runoff and climate change.
​
Protects canyons, open space and sensitive habitats.
Foster Regional Prosperity
Promotes the Rose Canyon/Creek Industrial Corridor as an emerging employment center connected to regional transit.
