BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
Tract Map 37644 is a subdivision of approximately 51 acres into 45 lots for condominium purposes and is the second development phase of the Arantine Hills Specific Plan. The second development phase was approved by the City Council on July 22, 2019. The map facilitates the construction of 490 residential units, which includes 88 single-family detached condominiums, 66 detached units in clusters of six, 72 triplex units, 78 paired units in clusters of eight, and 186 townhomes. The project also includes open space areas, trails, and an active park and recreational facility.
On January 15, 2020, Arantine Hills Holdings, LP, entered into Public Improvement Agreements with the City and posted bonds for the development of Tract Map 37644. Tri Pointe Homes has since purchased Lots 38 through 45 for the construction of 186 townhomes, including 6 model home units within the subdivision.
