We are Melia Homes, a residential homebuilder, and we are reach ing out to you because you own a home or property near our proposed new multi-family residential community of for sale townhomes and we would like to share some information about a new project with you. The project site is located on the east side of the existing Faith Lutheran Church and School site. T h e s i t e i s d e s i g n a t e d R e s i d e n t i a l C o r r i d o r ( R - C R ) i n t h e C ity General Plan. The project proposal will request reclassification of the Residential – Cor ridor designation to the Low-Medium Density Residential designation which provides for a wide range of residential uses , including detached, small-lot single-family homes and attached single-family homes. The permitted density range is from zero up to 18 dwelling units per gross acre. The project proposal will request reclassification to the RM-3 Zoning. The total area of the site is over 2 acres. The site will be split with Melia Homes proposing 24 attached townhomes on a 1.3-acre parcel; and Faith Lutheran Church is continuing to operate the remaining parcel.
We understand that neighbors naturally have concerns when chang es occur in their neighborhood. We are sensitive to that fact and would like to share this information. The propose d p r o j e c t c o n s i s t s o f d e m o l i t i o n o f t h e e x i s t i n g s c h o o l buildings and all appurtenant ancillary improvements. As stat ed, the proposed residential portion of the site is 1.3 Acres and we are asking the City to allow twenty-four (24) townhomes, a density of 18.0 units per acre, below what is allowed by RM3 proposed implementing zoning . The plan proposes the development of new For-Sale residential Three-story Townhomes in 12 buildings on the RM-3 zoned property with a single driveway from Orange Ave., parking, and landscaping. Buildings, as proposed are consistent with the allowed building height, story limitations and perimeter setbacks when adjacent to existing single-family and other residential properties.
The architectural design includes attractive Spanish thematic d esign themes that will provide an architecturally rich street scene and will utilize varying materials and coordinated color schemes. Utilizing tile roofs, light color stucco, deep brown painted facias and rafter tails, recessed windows, shutters, iron planters and railings, corbels and other details. There are four (4) different floor plans ranging in square footage size f rom approximately 1,596 SF to approximately 1,905 SF. The floor plans consist of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom townhomes and each with an attached two-car enclosed private garage. There is a total of 56 parking spaces, 2 per garage and 8 open, inclu ding Van accessible ADA stalls. The project complies City Parking Requirements.
We want to be “good neighbors” and hope that if you have any qu estions or conce rns about the project, that you will contact us. Please feel free to contact Jeff Weber 949-254-013 5 for questions and to review the proposed residential project. Thank you for your time.
Kind Regards,
