Tract Map 37030 is a subdivision of approximately 54 acres into 45 lots for condominium purposes and is the first phase of development in the Arantine Hills Specific Plan, approved by the City Council on October 4, 2017. The project is located south of Eagle Glen Parkway and west of Interstate 15, as shown on Exhibit "A." The map facilitates the construction of 393 residential units comprised of 100 single-family detached condominiums, 96 detached units in clusters of six, 96 paired units in clusters of eight, 101 townhomes, open space areas, trail areas, and an active park and recreational facility.
