Developer pitches "life-cycle" housing and phased build-out for Harvest Fields, targets spring 2027 start
Summary
JPB Land described a mix of lot sizes and house plans intended to provide 'life-cycle' housing across price points, said they typically build model homes and some spec units, and estimated first-phase build-out could start in spring 2027 with about 45 lots per phase.
Lucinda Spanier, speaking for JPB Land and JP Brooks Builders, said the development is designed as a "life-cycle community" with a variety of lot widths and house plans to serve entry-level buyers through move-up and downsizing households. Spanier described standard architectural controls and a voluntary anti-monotony code requiring variation in exterior elevations and color schemes.
Spanier told commissioners the developer typically builds a small number of model homes ("1 for each lot type") and will build a mix of spec and custom homes depending on market demand. On the smallest (42-foot) lots, the company proposes slab-on-grade two-story plans without basements to help affordability; Spanier described those units as roughly 1,824 square feet. She said roughly 15% of lots are planned at the smallest width, with the majority in the 50- to 60-foot range and premium lots at 72 feet.
Regarding phasing, the developer said construction will proceed in phases with approximately 45 lots per phase; roads and utilities will be built for each phase and turned over to the city after inspection. Spanier said the team aims to break ground in spring 2027 and complete construction over about five years, subject to market conditions and annexation steps.
