The City of Fresno is embarking on a new and exciting project – the creation of a Specific Plan for the Central Southeast Area, highlighted in the map below. The Central Southeast Specific Plan area covers over 2,200 acres (3.4 square miles) just east and southeast of downtown, generally bounded by Belmont Ave to the north, South Orange Ave to the west, East Church Ave to the south, and South Peach Ave to the east. 

Based on community input received to date through online and in-person meetings and outreach, the project team has developed draft goals and strategies for the Plan to address the issues that are of most concern to the community. 

Your input to the Central Southeast Specific Plan is important! Please fill out this short survey to review, prioritize, and share ideas for how the Plan can address key issues in the community.
