Pomona, a city of 160,000, is located in eastern Los Angeles County. Dyett & Bhatia is leading the first comprehensive General Plan Update for the City since 1976. Changing demographics, under-utilized employment lands and commercial corridors, and a new commuter rail, combined with successful downtown redevelopment efforts, make this largely built-out city prime for reassessment of long-term goals and implement-ation strategies.

Public participation is at the crux of this project. The consultant team is working closely with staff to obtain input from the wide cross-section of stakeholders and community members. Efforts include a series of district and citywide workshops, meetings with three advisory committees, interviews, the self-guided "Pomona Tourbook", periodic newsletters, and media outreach. Bilingual formats have helped to optimize participation.

The new General Plan will incorporate state-mandated elements and optional additional elements of particular importance to Pomona's '92 citizenry: Economic Development, Urban Design, and Historic Resources. Careful consider-ation is being given to infill opportunities along aging commercial corridors, continued downtown redevelopment efforts, and public service and infrastructure improvements.

Dyett & Bhatia also is revising the draft zoning ordinance. This involves revisions to implement smart growth, livability, mixed use, infill focus, and urban design concepts, and integrate them into the new General Plan.
