The Central District Specific Plan, adopted in 2004, provides neighborhood-specific design and land use regulations for an approximate 800-acre area in central Pasadena. This Specific Plan area includes two Metro Gold Line Stations, Del Mar Station and Memorial Park Station. The Lake Station is located just outside the Specific Plan boundaries. Other notable assets in the Specific Plan area include the historic City Hall building and Pasadena Playhouse, Central Park, Paseo Colorado, and the Shops on Lake.
