Avila Ranch Development Project

Document Description: The project involves the adoption of the Avila Ranch development plan, including an amendment to the Airport Area specific plan, a rezone, and related actions to permit a mix of residential uses (68.23 acres), neighborhood commercial (3.34 acres), and open space/park uses (71.30 acres). The project would result in construction of approximately 720 residential units. The project would also include 15,000 sf of leasable neighborhood commercial space concentrated in the eastern portion of the project site in a proposed town center. It is anticipated that the town center would provide small offices, retail shops, and service uses.
