S05E02 - The Brea General & Specific Plans

The Brea City Hall meeting focused on the ongoing update of the city's General Plan and the Brea Core Specific Plan, which are critical documents guiding the city's physical and economic development. The General Plan, last fully updated in 2003, outlines long-term community priorities across various elements such as land use, housing, and economic development. The Brea Core Specific Plan serves as the implementation tool for the General Plan within the city's core area, focusing on mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented development and improved multimodal connectivity. The update process has involved extensive community engagement since 2016, including surveys, open houses, and stakeholder meetings. The city aims to present the updated plans for adoption by mid-2026, with opportunities for public comment continuing through March 30, 2026. This comprehensive planning effort is designed to thoughtfully guide Brea's growth and development over the next 25 years.
