Document Description
The Project proposes 1,146 units of Low, Medium, and High-Density residential development and Neighborhood Commercial land uses. The Project will also feature 27.59 acres of park space, a 14.99-acre school zone, and a 6.18-acre stormwater retention basin. The Project would have 697 Single Family Homes, 235 Townhomes, and 214 Apartment Units. The Maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the neighborhood commercial zone is 0.5, so the 6.73-acre area will accommodate a maximum of 146,579 square-feet of commercial development with 488 parking spaces. The proposed uses include two retail stores, a gas station, a restaurant, a drive-thru restaurant, and an outdoor food court. However, the Project may also include other uses that are permitted or conditionally permitted within the C-N Neighborhood Zone. The central community park will include soccer/football fields, basketball courts, and playgrounds, but these details have not been finalized. Additional Project features include marked pedestrian crossings, a high density of intersections, sidewalks throughout the Project site, a trailway that connects all Project components, 2.5 miles of bike lanes along the Project frontage, and enhanced pedestrian crossings with easily identifiable signage for pedestrian/bike crossings at the intersections between the trailway and the roadway. Drought-tolerant landscaping will also be incorporated throughout the site and will be designed in accordance with the landscaping standards provided in the Hanford Municipal Code.
