WHAT'S DEVELOPING?
More growth in VC than ever before.
Valley Center is a small town community where
developments, both commercial and residential, are in both the
active and planning stages. Currently there are residential projects
totaling 3,629 units on 2772 acres and 166,000 acres in commercial
square footage in some form of activity.
The town’s proposed commercial development
is dependent upon the densities now being discussed as part of
the General Plan Update, which could go to the Board of Supervisor
for a vote as early as the fall of 2010.
This year the Valley Center Planning Group is
concentrating on the VC community plan and if you want to be part
of this process, contact Chairman Oliver Smith at 760-918-7331.
Check The Roadrunner for articles about upcoming projects,
when they are heard by the planning group, and when they are being
built.
