Proposed Project Overview
Castlewood Development is requesting approval from the City to develop 24 3+ bedroom for-sale units at the above address. This project requires a Zoning Map Amendment and a General Plan Amendment. The properties are currently vacant.
A Zoning Map Amendment is required to build moderate-density townhomes. The land is currently zoned R-1-5000 (Single Family Residential) and is proposed to be rezoned to RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential). This project also requires a General Plan Amendment. The amendment would change the Future Land Use Map in the Central Community Plan from “Low Density Residential” to “Medium Density Residential” for these properties.
The proposed Community Benefit for the project is the development of 24 3+ bedroom for-sale units. These units are suitable for families, and the proposed development includes a playground in its open space area.
