It's YOUR Salida

Small-Town Character

  • City of Salida Community Survey (2022) – 50% of respondents are concerned about the preservation of small-town character
  • The City of Salida 2013 Comprehensive Plan:
    • “Salida recognizes the importance of conserving and enhancing its historic small town character”
    • “New development will be focused within or adjacent to the city to preserve the rural, scenic character of the surrounding area’s open spaces and agricultural lands”
    • “New neighborhoods will fit the traditional pattern and style of older neighborhoods”
    • “Infill developments in existing neighborhoods is compatible with the valued character features”
    • “Important view sheds, solar access and privacy should be protected with new infill development in existing neighborhoods”
  • What is being built today is not “consistent and compatible” with surrounding neighborhoods.

Projects of this scale permanently reshape Salida’s character.
