Delaney Square Residential Project

The Project would construct 128 residential units, including a combination of two-story single-family detached cluster homes and two-story attached triplexes and duplexes. Residential amenities would include private and common open space, parking, a tot lot, barbecue area, shaded gathering space, and a butterfly garden. The existing school buildings and surface parking lot on the Project site would be demolished to accommodate the Project. The school was closed in June 2023 due to declining enrollment. As the Institutional/School General Plan land use designation and zone does not allow for residential uses, a General Plan Amendment and a Zone Change would be required. The Project would require a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from Institutional to Medium Density Residential, as well as a Zone Change from Institutional/School (INS) to Neighborhood General 3 – Medium (NG3-MED). The Project site would be accessible from East Mauna Loa Avenue and North Calera Avenue and internal circulation on the site would be provided by internal streets, driveways, and alleyways. Figure 2, Site Plan, provides a depiction of the Project’s proposed site plan. The Project would include a central paseo with a pathway for pedestrian connectivity, landscaping with drought-tolerant plantings and eco-conscious irrigation systems, and energy-efficient utility systems, including electric vehicle charging stations. Electrical utility lines would be converted to below-ground along East Mauna Loa Avenue and North Calera Avenue. Other off-site improvements may be required to connect to existing utilities within existing roadways.
