The property site is a vacant parcel spanning an area of 78.2 acres. The project includes the following major components on and adjacent to the project site:
A Vesting Tentative Map (VTM) for development of up to 144 detached single-family homes and associated new internal roadways on approximately 31.8 acres of the project site.
Approximately 46.4 acres of open space, marshes and undeveloped land, including the preservation of approximately 20.1 acres of the upper hill area, the preservation of approximately 19.8 acres of the lower site areas (containing wetlands, coastal salt marsh, freshwater marsh, open water, and alkali meadow), and the development of a new 2.0-acre stormwater treatment basin.

Development of an approximately 4.5-acre private neighborhood park, extension of new utility lines to and throughout the project site, the repair and upgrade of existing off-site utility lines, and improvement of two existing off-site roadways to better accommodate two lanes of moving vehicular traffic to/from the site.
The project also requested a tree-removal permit to remove up to 30 code-protected trees.
The project is anticipated to be developed in up to three phases, generally from west to east across the site, with an anticipated grading start date in 2021 and last house completion date in 2024.
The property site sits at the intersection of South Terminus of Palms Drive and Central Avenue.

More housing, great. Did they plan for Public transportation in the plans.?
Oh, they certainly planned for public transportation. The layout has been carefully drawn to make public transportation as inefficient, expensive and inconvenient as possible.
31 acres and only 144 SINGLE family homes sounds disgusting in contrast to the housing shortage and overall goals that the state has in mind re it’s future. Feels like going backwards.
