Vision Plan Implementation
The Vision Plan is for use by anyone who wants to understand the aspirations for future transformation of the East Side Innovation District in San Carlos.  It is also for use by those proposing changes to private property, the public right-of-way and any other infrastructure or utility in the area. This includes developers, property owners, city staff and San Carlos’ decision making officials. The Vision Plan is meant to be used at the very beginning stages of project development to determine how a project can be conceptualized and programmed so that with every act of new construction or public improvement, a portion of the Vision Plan can be fulfilled.
