2025 Scotts Valley Town Center Specific Plan

The 2025 Scotts Valley Town Center Specific Plan is a comprehensive land use and regulatory initiative by the City of Scotts Valley, California, designed to guide development within a 58-acre area through 2045. The plan establishes a vision for urban design, economic development, and infrastructure to support residents and businesses, allowing for the development of up to 657 residential units, 82,000 square feet of commercial space, and 35,000 square feet of public or civic uses. Implementation involves amending the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance to create new zoning districts and update development standards. The project has undergone a rigorous environmental review process in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, culminating in a Final Environmental Impact Report and a Notice of Determination issued on December 18, 2025. Key environmental considerations include air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, transportation, and the protection of biological and cultural resources. The plan mandates adherence to various regulatory standards, including Title 24 energy efficiency, California Fire Code, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations. Administrative oversight is led by the Community Development Director, Taylor Bateman, and the Public Works Director, Rodolfo Onchi.
