Broadway District Specific Plan

The Vision for the Broadway District
Enhance the Broadway District as a livable, small town, mixed use City center that is vibrant and thriving and alluring as the "Face of American Canyon".

The Broadway District Specific Plan (BDSP)(PDF, 7MB) was approved in July 2019, after a 10-year planning and community engagement process. The BDSP provides a land use and urban design framework for development on properties surrounding Broadway, which supports commerce, civic functions, and housing diversity while promoting a unique sense of community and making places that support vibrant social and commercial activity for a dynamic and diverse community.

For more information and questions please contact the Community Development Department at (707) 647-4348, or by email at nhall@cityofamericancanyon.org.

The Process

Between September 2014 to December 2016, city staff and consultants worked with the community, elected officials, and other stakeholders to develop a plan that is both visionary and ready to be implemented.

Guiding Principles

To realize this vision, the City Council identified eight principles that will govern land use and development in the Broadway District:

  1. Beautify the Corridor with Landscaping, Trees and Architecture
  2. Provide New Retail Opportunities
  3. Provide Gathering/Multi-purpose Places
  4. Unify the Character of New Development
  5. Improve Mobility
  6. Encourage Events/Festivals to Enliven the District
  7. Provide Connections between Neighboring Properties and Adjacent Neighborhoods
  8. Improve Highway Safety and Pedestrian Access
