The Northeast Growth Area is approximately 1,400 acres in size and primarily designated as an economic development area. It is located partially outside of the existing city limits.  The City expects urban development within this area, where existing uses have developed in the unincorporated county. Significant infrastructure improvements will be required to develop this area. It is not anticipated to be fully developed by the General Plan horizon year of 2035.

The Northeast Growth Area shall primarily be developed with job generating uses such as high quality offices, industrial uses, and technology campuses. Properties over 100 acres will be intended for large technology and business campuses, referred to as Technology Park. Development of employment generating uses prior to residential uses in the Northeast Growth Area will be encouraged. 

Specific Plans, consistent with the City’s updated infrastructure master plans, will be required for development. Ensuring that coordinated plans for land uses, public facilities, and public services are created for each area. Specific Plans will include a diagram showing the distribution of land uses and define permitted and conditionally permitted land uses, major public facilities (including schools, parks, roads, water, sewer, and drainage facilities), phasing, infrastructure financing mechanisms, interim fire protection measures, and any other elements that may be needed have an orderly development process with minimal adverse impacts to the existing community.
