Freedom Campus Master Plan

Freedom Campus Master Plan

The project site is located at 1430 Freedom Boulevard in the City of Watsonville, California. The nearest roadway intersection to the project site is the intersection of Freedom Boulevard and Crestview Drive. The project site consists of Assessor’s Parcel Number 019-017-07 and is approximately 9.5 acres in size. The proposed project consists of adoption of the proposed Freedom Campus Master Plan and redevelopment of the project site using design concepts outlined in the Master Plan. The Master Plan would involve a multi-stage redevelopment of the project site, including demolition of all six existing on-site buildings, construction of up to one or more new health services and other County buildings that would consolidate existing County health services and other County uses, and designate an approximately four-acre portion of the site for residential development consisting of one or more residential buildings with a combined total of up to 160 housing units. The building or buildings would be two stories in height, with an average floor-to-floor height of 15 feet and a total building height of approximately 35 feet. Regardless of the number of buildings, the building(s) would comprise a total of 70,000 to 85,000 square feet. Up to 5,000 square feet of the building(s) would be dedicated to community-serving uses, which may include but would not be limited to a community teaching kitchen and a multi-purpose community room. The project would also involve providing on-site parking for the health service building or buildings. Parking would be either surface parking or a new parking garage, or a combination of both.
