Patrick Henry Drive Specific Plan
The Patrick Henry Drive Specific Plan, adopted by the City Council on March 22, 2022 is now available.
The City has developed a Specific Plan to implement the City’s General Plan goals and policies for the Patrick Henry Drive plan area by providing more detailed guidance for future land uses and urban design elements.
The vision is to transform a series of 1970s office parks several existing office parks into a cohesive, high-density mixed-use community that fosters economic vitality, helps ameliorate the State’s housing shortage, and enhances quality of life for those who live, work, and recreate in the area.
The Patrick Henry Drive Specific Plan planning area encompasses approximately 74-acres of land bounded by Calabazas Creek, Mission Community College, Great America parkway, and the SFPUC right of way, as shown below.
