Document Description
The proposed Project, named Vista Lucia, is according to the developer, “a master-planned community, comprised of two neighborhoods, with residential and commercial areas connected by design features that support sustainable development, with cultural, recreational, and civic amenities that encourage active and vibrant living. Vista Lucia is designed to include a diversity of residential housing types, supporting various lifestyles and age groups, including two mixed-use neighborhood centers, two major community parks, five residential neighborhood parks, and more than seven miles of walkable promenades, bikeways, and trails connecting neighborhoods and amenity features to one another.”
The Vista Lucia Specific Plan will regulate and provide guidance for the development of up to 3,498 residential units, comprised of single family and multi-family residential units, along with two commercial/residential mixed-use centers totaling 8 acres in size, the donation of a proposed elementary school site, and provisions for two additional educational sites, and 79 acres of recreational facilities, including parks, play fields, trails, plazas, community gardens, and neighborhood squares. In addition, a pedestrian promenade system that interconnects residential and commercial areas within and between the two neighborhoods is included. Bike trails, detention and drainage areas, and other open areas will be incorporated into the open space system.
