Rajeev Bhatia, AICP, ASLA, is a planner and urban designer with extensive experience in the preparation of general plans, area and specific plans, and in integrating land use and transportation.
Mr. Bhatia is currently managing preparation of a new plan, zoning regulations, redevelopment plan, and focus plans for downtown San Diego. This is a major assignment, expected to lead to complete transformation of many parts of downtown; the recently completed Preferred Plan envisions San Diego as having one of the highest populations of any downtown in North America. See www.ccdc.com/planupdate.
He is also leading preparation of general plans for San Bruno, Pittsburg, Pomona, and Petaluma, the Santa Clara Transit Area Plan, for the area around the Caltrain station/terminus of the new BART extension to South Bay, and the EIR on the Contra Costa Countywide Transportation Plan/Measure C Renewal. He is also investigating impacts of light rail on land use for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and led the EIR on the most recent Bay Area Regional Transportation Plan.
Mr. Bhatia has worked on assignments to foster transit-oriented development along rail systems in Santa Clara Valley; the new Orange County and Seattle light rails; and prepared the award-winning Capitol Area Plan in Sacramento for the State of California, which has facilitated the largest infill construction in Sacramento's history (over $0.5 billion of development and several hundred homes completed along seven transit stations).
Mr. Bhatia has a track record of preparing successful, visionary yet implementable plans - as an example, the recently-adopted Rohnert Park General Plan prepared by Mr. Bhatia broke a seven-year planning deadlock and fostered agreement between the environmental and development community; the adopted plan was endorsed by 73% of the voters in the municipal elections.
Rajeev Bhatia holds a Master of City Planning and a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of California at Berkeley, where he was a Regents Fellow, and a Bachelor of Architecture from the School of Planning and Architecture in New Delhi, India. His work has won five awards from the American Planning Association in the last five years.
