DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The proposed horizontal mixed-use development is located on an existing 2.66-acre lot on the northwest corner of West 19 th Street and Pomona Avenue. The site is zoned Local Business District (C1) and has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial.

The project proposes 60 low-income age restricted (55+) apartment units (with one onsite manager’s unit). The proposed building would be four -story (approximately 57 feet) in height and include parking at the ground level under the new building. Each apart ment unit would be one bedroom and one bathroom with sizes ranging between 566 and 614 square feet and would include access to a private patio or deck. In addition, the proposed onsite tenant amenities would include a pet spa, fitness room, library/computer room, and community room. Parking would be provided in the existing surface parking lot as well as at the ground level under the new proposed residential building.

The proposed project also includes a tentative parcel map to subdivide the existing 2.66- acre City-owned property into two separate parcels – both to be owned by the City. The separate parcel for the senior housing building is proposed in order to allow the applicant, Jamboree Housing Corporation (JHC), and their limited liability partner the ability to receive tax credits through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program.
