APA Central California Chapter Award, Comprehensive Planning, Small Jurisdiction (2010)

San Joaquin Valley Blueprint Award of Achievement (2009)

Dyett & Bhatia completed a comprehensive revision of the General Plan for this growing Central Valley community, located in Tulare County along Tule River. The General Plan was adopted in 2007.

Porterville prides itself on having "The Good Life," and the new Plan builds on the city's civic pride, strong neighborhoods, and its natural setting. Dyett & Bhatia worked together with community members and the General Plan Steering Committee to develop a plan that anticipates growth, provides guidelines for sustainable, compact development, and provides a strong open space network of protected land, agricultural lands, parks, and recreation areas. The new Plan also includes an Economic Development Element to help guide decision-making to support new businesses, job creation, and the expansion of educational opportunities for the workforce.

Dyett & Bhatia also prepared Porterville's Development Ordinance and Downtown Design Guidelines, adopted in April 2010. The Development Ordinance contains the mandatory development standards to guide development and implement the General Plan, combining the zoning and subdivision ordinances. The Downtown Design Guidelines illustrate key concepts related to site planning and building design, intended to enhance the appearance and vitality of Downtown.
