Document Description
The proposed project is a specific plan that would guide the development of a mixed-income, mixed-use community on a 95-acre portion of the former Fairview Developmental Center site, pursuant to the requirements of State Government Code Section 14670.31 and the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation obligation for the site. The residential development would include a minimum of 2,300 dwelling units, 200 of which are required to be permanent supportive housing, with the potential for up to 4,000 units. 15 acres of the site would be developed by the State Department of Developmental Services for individuals with developmental disabilities. The commercial development will include up to 35,000 square feet of space, including but not limited to, retail, restaurants, coffee shops, fitness studios, and childcare facilities. At least 14 acres of publicly accessible open space will be provided as neighborhood parks, plazas, walking and biking trails, recreation centers, and picnic areas. The project would also result in off-site improvements, including the construction of a secondary access roadway through the adjacent golf course, requiring the reconfiguration of a minimum of six holes at the course, and a multi-use trail connecting the project site to Tanager Drive.
