The City wrapped up Workshop Series 4 and the Land Use Concepts Survey in August 2024. The Workshops and Survey focused on draft land use concepts for the FDC site and gathered community preference for various site layouts, access options, and land uses.
Workshop 5 focused on introducing the Draft Fairview Development Center Specific Plan and providing an opportunity for the community to give their feedback. A short presentation was given by the project team to highlight the key features of the plan and provide directions for commenting on the draft plan. Following the presentation, community members had the option to visit the seven stations set up around the room. The stations provided information and details about various chapters of the draft specific plan. During this time, the community was able to ask the project team questions and provide both verbal and written feedback on the plan. Attendees were encouraged to share thoughts or ideas on individual components of the draft plan, or the draft plan as a whole. The seven stations included the following:

Participants were the released to further browse the stations where they could review analyses results and ask questions. The goal of the Open House/Workshop was to provide detailed information of the Land Use Concepts, so participants could take a Land Use Concepts preference survey. The survey was available in print at in-person events and was live online from July 24th through August 30th.
