Downtown Living
Downtown Stockton is surrounded by a number of diverse, historic residential neighborhoods, within biking or walking distance of downtown business, entertainment, and recreational amenities. Distinguished by a wide range of architecturally significant buildings, tree lined streets, and an active waterfront district, the City of Stockton is focused on creating a downtown residential renaissance.
Greater Downtown Stockton Housing Strategy
This strategy will support the development of housing and mixed-use projects in the Downtown Stockton area. The focus is on catalyst development projects that will lead to building a critical mass of downtown residents, as well as creating a 24-hour environment.
Through the strategic planning process, all members of the community are encouraged to participate, share ideas, and provide feedback about current and future downtown housing. The purpose of the strategy is to identify specific actions necessary to achieve a vibrant and sustainable housing environment in the downtown core and surrounding areas.
Consultant, RACESTUDIO, is undertaking a three step process that involves:
- Step One - Evaluate available development site, housing prototypes, and financial and market feasibility issues.
- Step Two - Address urban design, mixed use opportunities, business opportunities, and marketing of downtown housing.
- Step Three - Prepare implementation actions, including 1) financial incentives, 2) development schedule, particularly for catalyst projects, 3) administrative actions, for example staff commitments to assist infill development, and 4)regulatory actions, such as establishing a clear "process" and requirements.
