The Ceres Downtown Specific Plan was adopted by the Ceres City Council on January 10, 2011, following a comprehensive planning effort that began in 2007.
The Specific Plan Area is located in unincorporated Stanislaus County, adjacent to the City of Ceres, and includes approximately 94 acres that is bounded by Whitmore Avenue on the north, Moore Road on the west, and the east side of La Rosa Elementary School on the east.
