San Pedro Urban Greening Implementation Plan

San Pedro Implementation Plan

This San Pedro Urban Greening Implementation Plan is the culmination of a multi-year community-based planning effort that began in the Spring of 2013 with the creation of the San Pedro Urban Greening Advisory Committee (UGAC), and was completed with the publication of this Plan in December 2017.

GOAL:

Funded with a grant from the State of California Resources Agency to the Los Angeles Conservation Corps at the behest of local stakeholders, the original goal as stated within that grant proposal was:

“…. the identification of synergistic downtown green space linkages that run from the waterfront connection points, through downtown community sites, and to upland park area connection points. The resultant San Pedro ‘waterfront to hills’ green space planning effort would truly bind the San Pedro community to its vital and distinctive San Pedro natural and historical legacy”.

CONTENT:

These goals have been accomplished and this document describes the process by which this was done and the results of that process, the Urban Greening Opportunities (Section 4). The Plan is divided into four (4) Sections with seven (7) Appendices. Section 1—Introduction, describes the background, goals and objectives for the plan. Section 2—Community Outreach, describes the community based planning process and includes results from the public opinion survey and the needs assessment. Section 3—Design Workshops, describes in more detail the process and results of those workshops. Section 4—Pathways & Outlets Opportunities, identifies, maps and characterizes the 32 “Opportunities” and gives implementation recommendations. The Appendices provide resource references and additional implementation recommendations to support development of the opportunities.

USE OF THIS DOCUMENT:

This document should be considered a “living document”, and will be managed as such. It is not just a “vision” plan. It should be used as “road map” for green development that can “evolve” as each of the “Opportunities” move towards development. This Plan will remain available online as both a single downloadable PDF, and, in its various parts (by Section, and by individual Opportunity-SEE ADDITIONAL SECTIONS BELOW) so that each Opportunity can be updated in real time. The goal is to continue to mobilize community, regional, state and federal support for these urban greening opportunities. It may also be used to guide appropriate development in San Pedro.
