Paso Robles Town Center Specific Plan
El Paso de Robles, California

Project: Urban design, planning, and Specific Plan including a Form-Based Code for the 1,200-acre historic Westside of the Salinas River in the City of El Paso de Robles, California.

Program: Opticos Design and Moule & Polyzoides led a multi-disciplinary team through a 12-month public process to produce a Specific Plans including Form-Based Codes for the Westside historical area. The Westside was split into two planning areas, Uptown and Town Center. The process began with a series of community workshops that where designed to gather stakeholder input and identify the most important planning issues. This was followed by an intense, week-long community design charrette that produced vision plans for the Uptown, Town Center, and Salinas River Corridor.

The Town Center Specific Plan reinforces the Downtown core by maintaining the centrality of the town square mixed-use district and linking it physically and programmatically to the nearby Salinas River and Mid State Fairgrounds. The Form-Based Code will replace existing zoning, provide regulatory tools and framework that aim to preserve the City’s remaining historic building fabric, and ensure that new construction on opportunity sites is compatible in scale and form.

Client: The City of El Paso de Robles, California
