The Oaks

Document Description: The proposed project consists of a 32-lot subdivision for single-family detached residential homes, and modifications to an existing commercial equestrian facility on a 20.25 acre project site. The residential subdivision would feature 10,000 sf minimum lot sizes on an 11.79 acre project site. The equestrian facility would be reduced to 8.46 acres and maximum 50 horse stalls (100 existing), and would continue to offer equestrian training and boarding. Some of the existing equestrian structures would be demolished and approximately 296 trees would be removed 15 trees relocated on-site. Three new structures are proposed within the equestrian facility, including an employee casita, ranch house, and barn. Stormwater drainage will be treated with bio-swales and on-site infiltration. After the stormwater pollutants are treated via the bio-swales and on-site infiltration features, on-site stormwater runoff would be conveyed by connecting new on-site storm drain pipes to two existing storm drain pipes which discharge into San Juan Creek.
