Ecological Stewardship Planning

It all starts with nature. The Collaborative’s trademarked Change for Good® approach produces plans and designs from the ground up that serve to sustain and grow healthy, equitable, and environmentally sound communities.

South Livermore Specific Plan

Livermore, California

Specific Plan for 1,900 acres of residential, limited commercial, recreation, and land conservation. Through a Transfer of Development Rights and up-zoning, 1,200 dwelling units were spread over seven sub-areas, leaving 70 percent of the total area reserved in perpetuity for public open space. Detailed landscape and architectural guidelines were developed to help sustain the valley’s distinct rural character.

The Collaborative’s Ignacio Bunster-Ossa led this project while at WRT.
