Downtown Delano Urban Design Plan: CRP 203 Work in Spring 08
In fall 2008 the City of Delano approached the City and Regional Planning Department through Department Head Bill Siembieda, expressing their wish for collaboration for Downtown Delano. Following a series of communications it was decided that a participatory effort for idea generation on the future of downtown would be appropriate for the task. A two-step timeline was developed with the Community Development Department of the City of Delano. As a first step, through Winter 2008, a Downtown Concept Plan was developed based on a community participation process with the residents of Delano. As the second step, in Spring 2008 quarter, CRP 203’s Section 02 developed three Urban Design Plan Proposals based on the Concept Plan developed earlier. In the following sections of this paper these two phases will be summarized.
