Envision MV
Mission Viejo launched EnvisionMV.com to help keep the community engaged, informed and up to date on exciting plans to improve the connectivity for residents to the many wonderful amenities owned by the City of Mission Viejo.
April 2025 Update
While the Santa Margarita Water District is updating the timeline and redesigning the site plan of their Oso Creek Water Reclamation Plant Improvement project and because of the current closures of Michael’s, Party City and Big Lots in the Village Center, the City is using this time to further enhance relationships with property owners and evaluate all options. This could potentially lead to a more comprehensive plan for the center located in the heart of Mission Viejo. The City received construction proposals for Phase 1 of LOS OSOS and paused consideration of an award to further research the bids and evaluate the new options – including a possible public-private partnership.
The City remains fully committed to a downtown vision as well as to fiscal prudence, and this temporary pause allows time for the situation and vacancies to evolve to help ensure the best possible project for the community.
On March 28, 2017, the City Council approved the Core Area Vision Plan, designed to enhance the heart of Mission Viejo. Based on extensive resident and property owner input, the vision provides a framework for open space; connecting to Oso Creek; creating a central gathering place; enhancing community aesthetics; creating a walkable village; and connecting our civic and retail core to more restaurants, shops and cultural arts activities.
As a master-planned community, Mission Viejo has deep roots in embracing the idea of connecting families and visitors to our many assets residing along the Oso Creek.
Finally! A Place to Play in your Own Backyard! Mission Viejo launches LOS OSOS in Spring of 2023 connecting the Civic Core Area to the 200 acres of open space along the Oso Creek.
