The Project
The Developer worked closely with members of the Citizens Advisory Committee, the City Planning Department, City Council and the City Manager in a joint effort to create a new mixed-use zoning ordinance that successfully upzoned 11 acres from single family residential to high density multifamily through the City’s General Plan Update. A key entitlement strategy was to invoke the City’s published General Plan Update goals supporting transportation-oriented development to leverage off of the site’s location along a major arterial signalized intersection in proximity to the community’s retail center, including Wal-Mart.
