This 110-acre transit-oriented district restores Placita Santa Fe, Placentia’s original town, and creates two new neighborhoods on derelict industrial land. The Plan transforms conventional suburban mega blocks into a fine-grained pattern of increased density punctuated by open spaces and civic sites.
A walkable network of varied blocks, plazas, parks and streetscapes generates up to 1,500 new dwellings, 200,000 square feet of retail and 450,000 square feet of office development. The Specific Plan includes a Form-Based Code and a detailed implementation program that effectively guides the regeneration of this north Orange County community.
