Have existing Irvine residents been involved in the planning process?
Yes, plans for North Irvine reflect extensive input from and preferences of residents. Over the past several years, the city of Irvine and The Irvine Company have been working with the community to design a land use plan for North Irvine. Since the fall of 2000, residents have participated in a series of community meetings and workshops for the Northern Sphere, which led to a land use plan that was unanimously approved by the Irvine City Council in June 2002.
