The Runkle Canyon Specific Plan guides residential development of the 1,595-acre site for construction of 461 attached and detached single-family dwellings and a public neighborhood park. The Plan was adopted by the City Council in 2004. The project also included approval of the related Development Agreement, Tentative Tract Map, Planned Development Permit, and Affordable Senior Housing Agreement. The project is being developed by Runkle Canyon, LLC, which involves a joint venture between KB Home (master developer/builder) and Lennar Homes.
The Specific Plan project community includes three distinct neighborhood types containing 25 detached custom single-family homes on minimum 20,000-square foot estate-sized lots, 298 detached single-family homes on approximately 7,700-square foot average-sized lots (minimum 5,500 sq. ft.), and 138 senior condominiums, including 62 affordable senior units.
The central area of the site contains a public neighborhood park. Also, a public open trail system will traverse through the site to the southern project boundary. Approximately 1,150 acres are designated as open space. In addition, a potential golf course area is situated in the site’s northwest portion.
