Restaurant Row Park Public Workshop on Jan. 25

Plans to redevelop Old California Restaurant Row have been submitted to the City and the applicant, Lennar Homes, has kicked-off its community outreach program. The revitalization of Old California Restaurant Row is envisioned as a vibrant, mixed-use hub that will include updated dining and commercial space, landscaped pedestrian connections, a neighborhood park and new housing options.

Join us for the second design workshop for the new proposed 1.2-acre neighborhood park. The meeting will review the information collected at the first workshop (summary below) and give attendees the opportunity to provide additional feedback and influence the design of the space (map below). The workshop is intended to provide the public an overview of the proposed public park and gather input on the park design. A future separate public workshop will be conducted on the proposed development project and a notice will be provided once it is scheduled.

Recap of the first Design Workshop:

An Informational Meeting & Design Workshop for the Project was held on December 1, 2022 at San Marcos Elementary School. This meeting was the first opportunity for the community to learn more about the proposed plans, engage with members of the project team, and participate in the first design workshop for the new park space.

In addition to learning more about the project components, attendees participated in a tabletop discussion to define their vision for the new park and identify desired public amenities. The consensus was: "An active park with social gathering elements that all ages and abilities can enjoy." Additionally, a skate plaza and pickle ball courts were the primary amenities requested.
