Welcome

Welcome to the City of Brea’s Focused General Plan Update and Brea Core Specific Plan website! The City is excited to embark on the process of preparing a focused update to the City’s General Plan and a new Specific Plan for the Core Area. This website will provide the community with an ongoing resource to share input, track progress, review resource documents, and participate in these two very important projects.

Each city in California is required to have a General Plan, which serves as a visioning document for how the City should grow and develop over time. Most of Brea’s current General Plan elements date back to 2003, and a lot has changed since then:  new housing developments have been built, business and industry needs are different, and the way people get around town has changed. Additionally, preparation of a new Specific Plan for the Core Area will help to implement the City’s long-term vision for this unique area of the City by providing specific direction for development. The Focused General Plan Update and Brea Core Specific Plan processes will provide residents, businesses, and other stakeholders the opportunity to provide input to help shape the direction of the City for the next twenty years.

Throughout the project process, the City will provide various opportunities for you to share your vision for the future of Brea. The City needs your help to make the General Plan and Brea Core Specific Plan a success. What do you love about Brea? What opportunities and challenges do you think face the City as it grows over the next 10, 15 or 20 years? Weighing-in on the Focused General Plan Update and Brea Core Specific Plan process will help make sure that these plans convey the values and priorities of Brea community.
