Chico is a distinctive community. It combines the livability and civil society of a small town with the education and cultural life of a much larger city. The 1994 Chico General Plan sought to preserve and enhance these qualities while providing a rational basis for planned growth. The policies of the General Plan reflect a range of themes, many of which have informed the vision for Meriam Park, including.
- Sustainable development that balances growth and conservation
- Enhancement of community character and identity
- Neighborhood-oriented development
- Economic development
- Development patterns that offer alternatives to auto use
The General Plan can be found on the City of Chico website. |
