WATERING RESTRICTIONS FOR LAWNS & LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS
Due to the current drought conditions, the City of San Fernando implemented a restricted watering schedule. Effective October 16, 2022, all homes that end in an odd number may water their lawns (10 minutes per station) on Mondays. All homes that end in an even number may water their lawns on Tuesdays. Watering of plants, gardens, and trees can continue using hand-watering methods and drip irrigation systems.
The City is also exploring modification to front yard landscape standards to encourage replacement of lawns with drought-tolerant landscape. Modification to the landscape standards will provide flexibility for property owners to change their front yard landscape and to take advantage of the Turf Replacement Program currently offered by Metropolitan Water District (MWD).
As the City explores modification to front yard landscape regulations, the City encourages community members to email suggestions or photographs of desirable front yard landscapes that you would like to see in San Fernando to [email protected].

DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN
On June 9, 2022, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified consultants to prepare the City’s Downtown Master Plan with a focus on completing a Downtown Vision, which is the first step towards development of a Downtown Master Plan. This visioning process gives residents, business owners, property owners, local organizations, and other stakeholders the opportunity to express ideas about the future of San Fernando Downtown, and help set goals and priorities for economic development. The visioning effort will focus on identifying the community’s desired level of Downtown economic vibrancy, what type and intensity of development is required to achieve that, and the related consequences/impacts. As part of the visioning effort, an economic and fiscal evaluation will be conducted to determine an Economic Vitality Strategy appropriate for Downtown San Fernando into the future.
Through a series of meetings, workshops, surveys, and growth-scenario comparisons facilitated by the City, participants (residents, business owners, property owners, and other stakeholders) will create a Downtown Vision that reflects the community’s goals and priorities and describes how the Downtown area should look and feel in years to come. The Downtown Vision will help shape and cultivate a sense of place, and buy-in for future land-use decisions and regulations. The Downtown Vision will outline the community’s vision, mission, and goals for San Fernando Downtown, and identify strategies and specific actions to achieve the goals.
If you’re interested in the process or would like to be involved, stay tuned for more information on the Economic Development webpage at: SFCITY.ORG/Economic-Development.
