City of Marysville General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan Draft EIR

The City of Marysville is advancing a comprehensive update to its 2050 General Plan, which serves as the foundational policy framework guiding long-term development, economic growth, fiscal sustainability, resource conservation, active transportation, public safety, housing expansion, and infrastructure adequacy across the city. Central to this effort is the development of a Downtown Specific Plan designed to catalyze reinvestment and urban revitalization, alongside a revised Zoning Code implemented to fully align with the Housing Element and increase housing opportunities. Additionally, Historic Design Standards are being established to regulate construction and renovations within designated historic districts, ensuring preservation of architectural and cultural resources. The entire planning process is driven by compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), requiring the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to analyze and mitigate potential environmental consequences, with final documents including a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration as applicable. All deliverables—adopted General Plan, Downtown Specific Plan, Zoning Code, and Historic Design Standards—will serve as the official policy and regulatory tools for future development decisions within Marysville. The project is centered in Marysville, California, with all planning activities, public hearings, and administrative oversight conducted through the City’s Office of Community and Economic Development, led by Dan Flores, the designated point of contact. While the solicitation number 2023020188 indicates a formal procurement process, the documentation does not include standard federal contract elements such as FAR clauses, pricing details, payment instructions, contract administration personnel designations, or evaluation criteria for award. There are no identified contract line items, cost estimates, delivery schedules, FOB terms, packaging requirements, or federal representations and certifications related to small business participation or socioeconomic status. Instead, the procurement is structured around state-level environmental compliance, with the City acting as both the lead agency and approving authority for environmental review findings, mitigation measures, and final plan adoption. All supporting documents, including the Draft EIR and public notices, are accessible online, and the process culminated in the Notice of Determination signed on September 17, 2025, marking the formal approval of the plan updates following public review and CEQA compliance.
