City Council approves Lennar housing phase and tax for community facilities district

The Lemoore City Council made significant strides in housing development during their recent meeting on May 6, 2025, by approving the inclusion of a new subdivision in the Community Facilities District. This decision allows the city to levy taxes to fund essential services for the development, which is part of a larger project by Lennar Homes.

Council members discussed the specifics of the three lots involved, although detailed information about the size of the homes and lots was not immediately available. The council previously addressed community concerns regarding the height of the homes, with residents requesting that no two-story houses be built in the area to preserve backyard privacy. This request was acknowledged in earlier discussions, and the council confirmed that the current approval aligns with those community preferences.

The approval of Resolution 2025-14 marks a crucial step in the third phase of the housing project, which follows two previously approved phases. The council's unanimous vote reflects a commitment to advancing housing options while considering community feedback.

With no new business on the agenda, the meeting concluded promptly, leaving the council poised to move forward with the development plans that promise to enhance the city's housing landscape. The implications of this decision are expected to resonate throughout the community as Lemoore continues to grow and evolve.
