The Santa Rosa Downtown Station Area Specific Plan (DSASP) is an example of a Priority Development Area (PDA) plan.
DSASP seeks to guide the intensification of an energetic commercial enterprise and innovative cultural center with a strong sense of place, enhanced connectivity and increased residential and social options. The Specific Plan envisions a vibrant urban core centered around Courthouse Square and a network of pedestrian-friendly mixed-use village centers, each with its own character. To make this vision a reality, the DSASP offers strategies designed to remove barriers to development, meet the community’s housing and job needs, foster vibrant civic spaces and enhance local quality of life.
