Description

As part of the City's Core Area Vision Plan, the City is exploring the potential purchase of the Stein Mart site as one small step toward implementing the vision for a walkable village, a paseo, and an entry that connects to the Oso Creek Trail. The property's proximity to Oso Creek provides an incredibly unique opportunity to set in motion one of the Vision Plan's core principles, "Connect to the Creek" and also moves the City closer to creating a vibrant community central core. The City Council in March 2017 approved the Core Area Vision Plan, designed to enhance the heart of Mission Viejo. Based on extensive resident and property owner input, the vision provides a framework for open space; connecting to Oso Creek; creating a central gathering place and walkable village; enhancing community aesthetics; and linking the civic and retail core to more restaurants, shops and cultural arts activities. The current Vision Plan for the Village Center component of the core area does not include housing. To refresh your memory, check out the concept video.
