According to a development agreement between the redevelopment agency, which owns the property, and North Loop Estates, LLC, the developers will pay cash for each 10-acre phase in advance. California City Real Estate will be the broker for the development.</b> <br><b>City manager Jack Stewart said the agreement requires the developer to have the cash lined up before it gets the property, and the company will install street improvements and underground utilities as part of the project. One acre, at the site of the former day care center on North Loop Boulevard, will be set aside for commercial development</b> <br><b>The plan is to build 190 one- and two-story, three- and four-bedroom homes, ranging in size from 1,500- to 2,100-square feet. The project lies within the Villages development area. Final tract map approval will be made at a later public hearing. No written or spoken comments were submitted for the May 11 public hearing.</b> <br><b>After discussing this project, the planning commission directed staff to research the zoning history of the Villages and work with the city engineer to create a list of zoning options for the commission to consider approving at a later date.</b> <br><b>Commissioner Bill Dennis said he wanted to avoid under-zoning the area, citing the C-4 designation as too generous, because it allows too many types of development. A C-2 zone would give the city more control over development projects, Dennis said, because future projects could be reviewed by the commission and be granted conditional use permits if they met with the commission’s approval.</b> <br><b>New site plan review dates</b> <br><b>The planning commission has changed the dates for site plan review meetings to the second and fourth Thursdays of every month at 4 p.m</b> <p><b><a href="http://www.califcity.com/avnr.html">More California City News Events</a></b> <p><b><font color="#000000"><a href="http://www.califcity.com/edc.html">California City Economic Development Corporation Homepage</a></font></b> <p><b><a href="http://www.califcity.com/about-calcity.html">Check out California City the best known secret in the High Desert!!!!!!!!</a></b> <p><b><a href="http://www.califcity.com">Real Estate for sale in California City</a></b> </body> </html>
