SLIDE 2 Key Planning Objectives
Master Plan Objectives
- Provide multi-family housing within walking/biking/short commutes of Bishop Ranch’s jobs, shopping and
transit system
- Using infill development, utilize the existing circulation and open space at Bishop Ranch to create a
community of neighborhoods that fits into the unique character of Bishop Ranch and the City
- Create enough homes to create a sense of community but not so many that would over burden the
existing street system
- Create desirable neighborhoods with pedestrian-oriented streets, parks as focal point and identity,
residential buildings with modern timeless architecture and units on all four elevations
- Create amenities that are of value to both CityWalk and the broader community
- Preserve the employee experience of our existing office buildings
- Create a master plan, a 25 year road map, for the measured implementation of the community over time
