The City of San Fernando is seeking proposals from highly qualified consulting firms to assist the community in developing a vision for its Downtown, which will determine the appropriate next steps for the creation of a Downtown Master Plan and, may serve as the basis for updates to the San Fernando General Plan. A goal of the City Council is to complete a Downtown Master Plan, and an initial step towards achieving this goal is a visioning process. This visioning process gives residents, business and property owners, local organizations, and other stakeholders the opportunity to express ideas about the future of San Fernando Downtown, and help set goals and priorities for economic development. This visioning effort will focus on identifying the communitys desired level of Downtown economic vibrancy, what type and intensity of development is required to achieve that, and the related consequences/impacts. As part of the visioning effort, opportunity sites will be identified to simulate activity in Downtown, and an economic and fiscal evaluation will be conducted to determine an Economic Vitality Strategy appropriate for Downtown San Fernando into the future. Please direct any questions regarding this RFP to Kanika Kith, Director of Community Development, via e-mail at kkith@sfcity.org. Questions must be received by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 17, 2022.
