Abstract
This document is a professional project and academic companion piece
completed to partially fulfill requirements for the attainment of a Masters in City
and Regional Planning at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis
Obispo. The project is the City of King West Broadway Master Plan (Plan). The
Plan was completed over the course of a year for a real-world client (The City of
King) and provides new form-based code recommendations in the Plan Area.
The Plan is included as Appendix A. The companion piece is intended to provide
additional background research that was conducted during the planning process,
but omitted from the final project. In the companion piece, I first explain why I
selected the WBMP for my professional project. Next, I elaborate on the sources
and inspiration for the goals of the project that are listed in the plan including
grant requirements, input from the public, and current planning practices. Finally,
I provide background research and justifications for two parts of the plan that
have little reasoning in the text: mobilehome relocation law and the suggested
development standards.
