Copper Trails Specific Plan Area and Pocket Area Pre-Zoning

Ceres

Description

The council adopted the pre-zoning ordinance for the Copper Trails Specific Plan area and a pocket area, setting the zoning for a major future annexation and development area with a 10-30 year build-out.

Impact summary

This opens the door to a decades-long development area, though critics note the city already has more housing-ready land than it needs and infrastructure like the Service Road overpass remains unimproved.
