Conceptual Elevations

Conceptual Site Plan

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposed project includes the construction of 50 affordable condominium units and 48 market-rate condominium units at an approximately 6.3-acre site that is currently used by the Cypress School District for its administrative and maintenance operations. Occupancy of all 98 units would be restricted to households with at least one member 62 years of age or older. The proposed project will include the subdivision and redevelopment of the project site, and will require approval of a tentative tract map, and a Conditional Use Permit for Senior Housing – Affordable by the City of Cypress. As shown in the conceptual site plan, the 48 attached market-rate senior condominium dwelling units are distributed across 8 different buildings (Buildings 1–8) on the western two thirds of the site.  The 50 attached affordable senior condominium dwelling units are distributed across 2 different buildings (Buildings A and B) on the eastern third of the site. Buildings 1–8 would be situated around an internal driveway loop that would connect to Moody Street and Orange Avenue via a private street along the northern and eastern boundaries of the project site. The proposed project would be developed with a gross density of 15.5 dwelling units per acre. In addition to the proposed residential uses, the project would provide open space and community amenities.
