Land Use Plan
|
The Land Use Plan for San Clemente accommodates the full range of uses existing in San Clemente in 2013, as well as uses to be allowed in areas where change is desired. The buildout of land uses contemplated in the 1993 Land Use Plan has essentially been realized. In 2013, most of the City’s expansion areas are built out, with the exception of Marblehead Coastal, and growth will primarily occur on vacant infill parcels or through redevelopment. Consequently, this Land Use Plan anticipates that land use changes will be concentrated within eight Focus Areas.
This land plan builds upon a wealth of assets, including: many safe and attractive residential neighborhoods, a variety of commercial and coastal destinations that are unique to the region, unique historic resources that distinguish our community, visual and functional landmarks to our neighborhoods and districts, a thriving business and industrial sector, a historic downtown, convenient multi-modal transportation facilities and access to some of the best beach, ocean and open space resources that Southern California has to offer.
