Moffett Boulevard Precise Plan

The Future of Moffett Boulevard is NOW!

The Moffett Boulevard Precise Plan project provides an opportunity for the community to set the groundwork for public and private investment and revitalization as identified in the City’s 2030 General Plan. The area is envisioned to become a vibrant mix of commercial, retail, residential, and civic uses supported by a well-landscaped, well-lit, pedestrian-friendly corridor. This includes creating new plazas and community gathering spaces, pedestrian amenities, and bicycle facilities that will allow people to safely cross the Central Expressway and access surrounding neighborhoods and open space corridors.

The Precise Plan project is one of the City Council’s Strategic Priorities in the Fiscal Year 2023 – 2025 Work Plan. The project will implement the “Change Area” goals, policies, and objectives identified in the City’s 2030 General Plan, including policies in its recently adopted and certified 2023-2031 Housing Element (Program 1.1(g)c.).
