As State Route 39 and the major access route from I-405 to the beach and downtown in Huntington Beach, Beach Boulevard is a wide, high volume corridor and the City’s main commercial route. Despite the importance of this corridor to the function and image of the City, it is visually unappealing and in a state of economic transition. With significant City and Community involvement, FTS prepared the Beach & Edinger Corridors Specific Plan. The Plan is assisting the community to more effectively attract investment that will improve the image of this central spine. The Specific Plan document 1) describes the overall vision for the future corridors and identifies key opportunities for revitalization; 2) establishes form-based land use and development standards to replace pre-existing zoning regulations; and 3) outlines a program of capital improvements to influence the use and appearance of the public right-of-way.
