Resident proposes mixed‑use vision for Marguerite Parkway area
Summary
A Mission Viejo resident urged the commission to plan long‑term mixed‑use redevelopment between Oso Parkway and Alicia Parkway along Marguerite Parkway as a future downtown, stressing protections for current property owners.
Tom Moore, a Mission Viejo resident, urged the commission to develop a specific long‑term plan for the Marguerite Parkway/La Paz area to create a future downtown district with mixed‑use development.
Moore said the brow overlooking the creek could support mixed‑use development and argued that existing property owners—rather than outside developers—should benefit from changes. “What you have in front of you…is what I think is a future of Mission Viejo,” Moore said, pressing the commission to set a plan even if implementation is years away.
Commissioners acknowledged the proposal as a long‑range concept; no formal study or rezoning was proposed at the meeting and Moore said he will continue advocating for the plan. The commission did not schedule any immediate action on the concept and treated it as public comment for long‑range planning discussions.
