The Planning Commission will review a Tentative Tract Map (TTM #84564) for a proposed 70-unit townhome development located at 840 South Indian Hill Boulevard. The site of the proposed project has a net area of 2.67 acres and includes the decommissioned tennis courts and vacant open space area along American Avenue. The Applicant, City Ventures, is proposing the following:
•70 for-sale townhome condominiums consisting of two-, three-, and optional four-bedroom units with unit sizes ranging from 1,155 square feet (sq. ft.) to 1,639 sq. ft.
•The development is comprised of ten separate buildings mostly with three stories, reaching a maximum height of 34’-7”. Units within fifty-seven feet of the western boundary are limited to two stories (twenty-four feet).
•Vehicular access to the site is taken via one driveway on American Avenue.
•140 covered parking spaces in garages (both tandem and side-by-side) along with eleven uncovered spaces on the property.
•Two common open space areas near the center of the project site with a total area of 9,385 sq. ft. along with private outdoor living areas in the form of patios, decks, and covered porches totaling 13,325 sq. ft.
•The proposed buildings feature a Spanish architectural style with exterior materials consisting of stucco walls and red-tile roofs with fiber-cement/ wood trim and wrought iron details. The designs include low-pitched, hipped roofs, natural earth tone colors, arched openings, and a combination of casement and slider windows.
•The project is subject to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and is required to provide ten percent of units to be affordable to moderate-income households and five percent of units to be affordable to lower-income households and is eligible for State Density Bonus Law incentives.
The Applicant has submitted a proposed subdivision map for the above-described improvements along with site plans, architectural elevations, floor plans, and conceptual landscape plans that describe the project more fully. The Tentative Map requires advisory review by the Planning Commission and final approval by the City Council. The Architectural and Preservation Commission will also review the architectural design and site plan for the project, most likely during its May 14, 2025 meeting.
Each commission will review the project at a separate public hearing. In addition to these two meetings, the City Council will decide on the final approval of the tract map at a future meeting. In 2024, this property was rezoned from Commercial Freeway (CF) to RM Medium Density Residential (RM 2,000) via the City’s 6th-Cycle Housing Element
