Old Town Newhall Specific Plan (OTNSP)
The Old Town Newhall Specific Plan was adopted in 2005 and recently updated in 2022. The Plan establishes the overall vision for Old Town Newhall and has successfully guided its growth, development and revitalization over the last 15 years. The Plan is a regulatory document that codifies development standards, design guidelines and implementation measures for the development of buildings, places, streets and infrastructure. These regulations are ultimately intended to implement the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan, as they apply to the 20-block area of Old Town Newhall.
