Willowgrove Project

The Willowgrove Project is a large-scale mixed-use community development located in Davis, California, encompassing 232 acres and proposing a diverse mix of 1,250 residential units including 197 low-density single-family detached homes, 515 medium-density single-family units, duplexes, and townhomes, and 538 high-density affordable and market-rate apartments, townhomes, and condominiums. The project will also include neighborhood retail spaces, a daycare facility, a community park, mini parks, a gym, open space, greenbelts, transit improvements, on-site roadway enhancements, and off-site infrastructure upgrades. To proceed, the project requires multiple discretionary approvals from the City of Davis, including amendments to the Statement of Intent, annexation of the site into city limits, a General Plan Amendment, pre-zoning, a Final Planned Development designation, Design Review, Vesting Tentative Maps for large and small lots, an Affordable Housing Plan, and a Development Agreement. Environmental and geotechnical compliance is mandated through adherence to standards such as ASTM E1527-21 for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, the CASQA Stormwater BMP Handbook, California FloodSAFE Guidelines, and local stormwater performance criteria. Sampling and testing protocols require strict chain-of-custody procedures, temperature control at or below 6°C, unique barcoded labeling for all specimens, and compliance with EPA and state environmental regulations. Technical oversight is provided by the City of Davis and third-party consultants, with Ian Kitamura of Youngdahl Consulting Group serving in a contract oversight role. An Arborist Survey is confirmed as a required attachment, and environmental monitoring is ongoing, with previous remediation activities noted at the Frontier Fertilizer site. The project is in the planning and environmental review phase, with key documents such as the Notice of Preparation published in 2024 and a projected development timeline extending into 2035. No formal federal contract structure, pricing line items, procurement evaluation factors, or standard FAR clauses are present; the framework is instead governed by local land use processes and environmental compliance requirements under CEQA and related state agencies. Financial figures referenced relate to development and remediation costs, not contractual obligations, and no contract value, award basis, or procurement method is formally established at this stage.
