The development application submitted by EGL Associates, Inc. on behalf of WZ Phillips, LLC, landowner, for TRACTMAP 17025-2021, TM No. 83625, was approved by the Planning Commission to allow for the aerial subdivision of a 12-unit residential development constructed on the property addressed as 961 E.

The development includes four separate 2-story buildings, each containing three (3) units, with 2,000-square foot, 3-bedroom floor plans, attached 2-car garages, common and private open space areas, guest parking, and landscaping and recreational amenities. All common areas within the project boundaries will be owned and maintained by a homeowner’s association. The public street vehicular access to the project is provided by one 26-foot driveway approach from Phillips Boulevard.
Approval of Tract Map TM No. 83625, and its subsequent recordation, will allow the landowner WZ Phillips, LLC, (i) to meet the conditions of approval for Tentative Tract Map TRACTMAP 17025-2021, and (ii) to facilitate the completion of the proposed construction and the issuance of the Certificates of Occupancy for the development.
