PROJECT LOCATION: 1997 N. Orange Olive Road and 301-343 E. Grove Avenue
PROJECT
DESCRIPTION:
A request to allow for the redevelopment of an existing 2.9 -acre commercial shopping
center site with 32, two-story single-family detached residential condominium units and
related site improvements. The project includes a zone change from Limited Business (C-
1) to Multiple-family Residential (Specific Plan) [R-3(SP)]. The zone change would bring
the site's zoning into consistency with its residential General Plan land use designation.
The proposal also involves an amendment to the Orange Olive Specific Plan, which was
originally developed to accommodate a 25 unit detached residential development on 2.33
acres, located one parcel to the north of the subject site, referred to as Phase I. The
amendment is proposed to expand the Orange Olive Specific Plan boundaries to
incorporate the proposed project, referred to as Phase II into the Specific Plan area. The
proposal also includes a Tentative Tract Map for condominium purposes to establish
private and common use areas.
