The Court (PLAN24-00005)

The Court project (PLAN24-00005) is a proposed multiple-family residential development located on an 8.52-acre site at the northwest corner of Silica Drive and First Avenue in Victorville, California. The development will feature 99 townhouse units distributed across 20 three-story buildings, including five six-plexes, thirteen five-plexes, and one four-plex. Each unit includes an enclosed two or three-car garage, with a total building floor area of 248,414 square feet. Residents will have access to recreational amenities including a clubhouse, pool area, game courts, and walkways. The site plan incorporates 254 vehicle parking spaces, 38 bicycle stalls, and 112,714 square feet of landscaping. Access is provided via gated driveways on Silica Drive and First Avenue. The project is managed by the City of Victorville and has undergone extensive environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration. Technical assessments have been completed covering geotechnical soil stability, hydrology, air quality, and biological resources, with findings indicating no sensitive habitats or cultural resources on-site. However, the Department of Toxic Substances Control has recommended soil testing due to the site's agricultural history. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2025, progressing through demolition, grading, and building construction, with an estimated completion of the main structures by July 2026. Key compliance requirements include CalOSHA excavation standards, strict dust mitigation protocols, and adherence to state water quality and fish and game codes.
