The Leucadia community is characterized by local, family-owned
businesses; small-lot subdivisions; small-scale development and uses;
and architectural diversity. The purpose of this specific plan is
to help guide rehabilitation and successful economic restructuring
of the North 101 Corridor as it evolves into the twenty-first century.
The community vision seeks to:
|
•
|
promote a community where individuals can afford to live, as
well as own and operate commercial establishments;
|
|
•
|
encourage architectural quality and creativity without discouraging
development or dictating a specific style or theme;
|
|
•
|
establish a streetscape enhancement program along the North
101 corridor;
|
|
•
|
provide a commercial corridor that serves both the needs of
the neighborhood residents as well as visitors to the community;
|
|
•
|
encourage diverse, small-scale uses and family-owned businesses;
|
|
•
|
preserve and maintain the existing mature eucalyptus and cypress
trees and establish a street tree program for the entire North 101
corridor;
|
|
•
|
provide for safe pedestrian and traffic circulation;
|
|
•
|
consider opportunities for mixed-use development; and
|
|
•
|
to enhance the artistic community.
|
