Slatten Ranch Townhomes Project

The Slatten Ranch Townhomes Project (proposed project) would consist of a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map that would subdivide the project site into 17 lots for residential uses, each of which would contain one townhome building and associated landscaping. Each proposed townhome building would consist of either “Row Townhomes” units (55 units) or “Back to Back” (B2B) units (74 units) containing between five and 10 units, for a total of 129 units. Three Row Townhome floorplan types would be offered with two- and three-bedrooms, ranging in size from 1,432 to 1,791 square feet (sf). Two B2B floorplans are offered: a two-bedroom, 1,293-sf plan and a three-bedroom, 1,414-sf plan. All units would have at least one private deck of 70 sf, a storage area of at least 250 cubic feet, and an attached two-car garage. The Row Townhome buildings would front Slatten Ranch Road, Wicklow Way, and Empire Avenue, with units within each building designed in a side-by-side layout. The B2B buildings would be sited generally in the central portion of the project site, with units within each building designed in a side-by-side and back-to-back to layout. Additionally, 13 separate parcels are proposed for the internal roadway network (Parcels A-J), as well as private common areas (Parcels K and L). The proposed project would include 0.34-acre of common open space located north of the gated entry at Parcel K. A central common area would provide amenities for both adults and children including a bocce court and children’s play area. Benches would be located throughout the common space, along with picnic tables centrally located between the bocce and children’s play area. A second smaller common open space area (approximately 5,200 sf) would be located in Parcel M at the north of the project site. The common space area would have a dog park as well as an open activity area for free use. Parcel M would also contain a bio-retention area. Primary access to the project site would be provided by a gated entry from Wicklow Way with a center landscape median. Emergency vehicle access (EVA) would be provided from Slatten Ranch Road at the northwest of the site. All internal roadways would include a five-foot sidewalk and landscaping, and would be privately owned and maintained by a homeowner’s association (HOA). The proposed project would require the City’s approval of a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for condominium purposes and Design Review.
