Carleton Acres Specific Plan

Carleton Acres Specific Plan

The Project Applicant is proposing a Specific Plan to develop approximately 507-acres of land into a mixed-use development. The Project will feature a variety of uses including single-family residential, multi-family housing, commercial, educational, and parks/trails facilities. The proposal features several different types of housing for a total of up to 3,368 residential units at buildout. The proposed Project also includes up to 14.7 acres of commercial development in two locations within the Project (for a total of approximately 100,000 square feet of gross leasable commercial area). The first commercial area consists of up to 6.4 acres of Neighborhood Commercial at the intersection of Riggin Avenue and Shirk Road. Anticipated uses at this location may include development such as a gas station, drug store, retail, restaurants (including drive-throughs), and similar uses. The second consists of up to 8.3 acres of Commercial Mixed-Use at the center of the development. Anticipated uses at this location may include development such as retail, services and restaurants. The commercial facilities are located to provide efficient accessibility to residents of the Project and the surrounding areas. Other proposed uses include a site for a potential future elementary school, land for a drainage basin, and approximately 15.2 acres of parks/trails/recreational facilities. Various other infrastructure improvements (water, stormwater and wastewater infrastructure, roadway improvements, and related improvements) will be required by the Project.
