The City of San Bernardino is undertaking a comprehensive update to its General Plan, Development Code, and the creation of a new Downtown Specific Plan to guide future growth and development through the year 2050.

The effort is focused on revitalizing the downtown area through a dedicated Specific Plan that will establish detailed land use frameworks, design standards, and implementation strategies tailored to the urban core. The City is seeking technical expertise to support this complex planning process, with direct outreach to Gabriel Elliott, Director, and Jennifer Kelley, Senior Associate, as key points of contact. All work is to be performed in San Bernardino, California, with the solicitation posted publicly to ensure transparency and allow qualified firms to prepare for potential future opportunities under this initiative.
