Title

Washington/Nutmeg Multifamily Development Project (DP-0219-1997)

Description

Washington/Nutmeg Multifamily Development, L.P. is proposing to develop a 14.4-acre vacant property into a 210-unit apartment complex at the northeast corner of the Washington Avenue/Nutmeg Street intersection. This document is prepared as a Tier 2 Focused Environ-mental Impact Report (EIR) to a previously adopted IS/MND which was completed in April 2005. Due to the recession development of the site did not proceed over the past 15 years. The Applicant is proposing to modify the original approved project and the City of Murrieta intends to consider this Tier 2 Focused EIR for the revised project. This Focused Draft EIR evaluates the following modifications to the development of this 14.4-acre site. If the proposed site development plan (DP-2019-1997) is approved, the revised Washington/ Nutmeg Multifamily Development Project would construct 17 apartment buildings containing 210 multi-family housing units (all market-rate apartment units). This includes 88 one-bedroom units; 88 two-bedroom units; and 34 three-bedroom units. There will be 13 two-story buildings and four three-story buildings. A total of 210 garage spaces will be installed; 183 uncovered parking spaces will be installed; 52 guest parking spaces will be installed; and 1 mail/package deliver space will be installed for a total of 446 parking spaces. Off-site improvements to be completed as part of the project would include curb and gutter on adjacent streets, and lighting and landscaping along Washington Avenue and Nutmeg Street on the project side of the street. The developer is seeking to merge the four parcels that exist on the 14.4-acre site into one parcel.
