Lakeview Village proposal seeks PD overlay to cluster for-sale units, preserve open space and keep prices lower
Summary
Developer told the neighborhood board the Lakeview Village PD overlay would allow clustering to keep units for sale at about $450,000 and create an acre-and-a-half of shared open space; residents asked about parking, access and enforceable protections in development agreements and CC&Rs.
A developer presented a planned-development (PD) overlay request for Lakeview Village at 2050 West, describing a roughly 3-acre south parcel that would be clustered to enable lower per-unit costs and to preserve open space. The presenter said the clustering approach aims to keep the for-sale units near $450,000 rather than north of $600,000 if units were spread across the site.
The plan would place about 18 for-sale units on the southern parcel and include cross-usage easements so residents of the Lakeview Crossing to the north would be able to use the south open space as well. The developer said the open space would be managed by an HOA and intended to remain as green space. "It's gonna be part of the HOA's open space," the presenter said.
Residents pressed for protections to prevent future re-development of the open space and asked whether CC&Rs would prohibit altering the common-area character. The presenter said recorded CC&Rs and development agreements would include covenants to restrict character changes and that the developer would set up the initial HOA and CC&Rs as part of the process.
Neighbors asked about parking adequacy, overlap between daytime retail and residential parking, and whether on‑street parking would fulfill requirements. The presenter said the team completed parking and traffic studies reviewed by public works and traffic staff, and said the project "over parked it" to meet and exceed local parking requirements.
The board and developer discussed whether deed restrictions or development agreements could discourage buyers from turning units into rentals; the presenter said deed restrictions recorded in the development agreement and the CC&Rs are under consideration and that the units are intended as ownership opportunities.
The proposal remains under staff review; no approvals were made at the neighborhood meeting and residents were encouraged to attend Planning Commission hearings if they wish to comment.
