About the Plan

What is a Specific Plan?

A specific plan is a zoning and development tool that implements the City’s General Plan. The Duarte Station Specific Plan is a direct implementation measure of the Duarte General Plan, which called for a flexible mixed-use Specific Plan in this general area to foster transit-oriented development.

The 626 Golden Streets event temporarily opened stretches of roadway near Duarte Station for bikes, pedestrians, and fun.
