PA 40 Neighborhood

[lcms2002]

Does any one have information or map on future village in PA 40? Currently PA 40 middle school is in construction. from TIC map, residential is planned for the area btw I5 and Trabuco, Sand Canyon and Jeffery, business/office building is planned on the other side of Sand Canyon.  The layout is similar to WD and SG, a park is in the center of lot (rectangle), it is said that 5000 homes will be built. There is also a community park planned at the corner of Sand Canyon and Trabuco across WE near Great Park. I saw a map somewhere, and now I can not remember where it is.

Anyone know what's planned for the east side of the Jeffrey and Trabuco intersection?  It currently looks like a large ditch.

For more information, see the latest issue of Villages of Irvine magazine!  You will not find anything about Columbus Square in this magazine, which legally cannot even call itself a Village of Irvine.TM

Because it has its own village... Village of Columbus?.

Hey, Here is the PA 40 Map I found, not sure if this most update. I guess that there is no official name (Cypress?) for this village, people called it Woodbury II for convenience.

How many homes are in WB right now?

edit: nevermind, it looks like it'll be 3500 units which half of which is going to be apartments.  Also it looks like there will be pocket parks.

All you document sleuths are awesome!

Thanks, IHO, for putting this map on board! I have two more maps, but the files are too large to be attached here.

 

[irvinehomeowner]

If you can change them to an image (jpg or gif)... usehttp://www.tinypic.comto upload them (it will shrink them for you) and then use those links as inline images here.

(oh and please find me some maps on Laguna Crossing)

Do they always have the apartment complexes in each community so that some of the amenities such as the parks, roads, etc. are paid by the county?  Maybe for low-income housing purposes?

 

[iacrenter]

Why place apt complexes in sites 1-4? It would make more sense if they placed all the condos along the edge of Sand Canyon or the I5. They could act as a great sound buffer for the rest of the community. Sites 2 & 3 would be especially valuable for private sale as it sits between two parks and does not back to any major roadways.

Sorry, I don't have any on Laguna Crossing. But here is the attachment for Orchard Hill. Hope that you like it.

Interesting how the Open Space Trail will curve around and hug the 5 to Sand Canyon, acting as a sound buffer to the homes.  The trail is narrower in front of the apartments and wider in front of the homes.    I heard some chitchat awhile back that the future retail site along Sand Canyon will be boutiques geared to high end clientele.  Think LV and Gucci...

I used to live in WB and I could still hear the I5 and train horns clearly at night. The whole WB II is a lot closer and any of the homes along the I5 regardless of the Open Space Trail will be subject to lots of freeway noise.

Don't let PatStar hear that... he may move back!

So typically how much time does it take from this public hearing to when the development actually
gets built.

Also what does mixed use area and child care mean.

A public hearing is scheduled for PA 40 on Nov 18, 2010. Please see the attached flyer for the notice from City of Irvine.

PA 40 was originally designed for Spectrum 8 (like Irvine Spectrum) for business/office use. The plan was changed few times, and residential was added to the north of Sand Canyon Road. It seems now that Spectrum 8 is totally out of the picture, only a pocket of the land is labeled for that mixed use and a day care center.

The retail center is also marked on Irvine zoning map, not sure what kind of shopping center it will be. It may have some impact on Sonoma in WD and Monterey in WE, especially those units along Sand canyon Road and Trabuco Road. Not sure if this will change resale value. However, there may be a few years for TIC to build the retail center. It is also possible that they change the plan before construction, the public hearing is the chance for these residents to voice their concerns.

 

[waitin4ever]

Thanks for all this info. Yes the part you mentioned about impact on monterey homes adjoining Trabuco  is what got my attention
initially from your map. Actually don't know if that is a real bad thing or a good convenience. I guess depend on how they build the
shopping center.

Here is the article about PA 40, new village of Irvine,

Key Features and Amenities
of a Balanced Community

The new village in Planning Area 40 will reflect the exceptional planning and
design innovation that make every village in the city of Irvine distinctive. Like
all other residential villages in Irvine, the community will be balanced and
self-contained and offer excellent schools; extensive parks, trails and open space, and
convenient retail centers.
The village?s master plan envisions three districts: District 1 will be a residential village
of fewer than 4,000 housing units; Districts 2 and 3 will be mixed-use areas featuring
retail stores, services and apartments.
Key features and amenities envisioned for the new village include:
?A full range of housing types to provide much-needed homes near jobs as
Irvine?s economic growth continues.
?A newly located middle school to serve students in North Irvine by 2010, as
well as a neighborhood elementary school.
?New parks, trails and open space, including the completion of the southern
segment of the Jeffrey Open Space Trail system.
?A large, central recreation complex that will include the elementary school
and public and private parks.
?A Trabuco Road landscape corridor that will serve as a major entry into the
Orange County Great Park.
?Interchange improvements at Trabuco Road and SR 133.
?Landscape treatment along the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway to serve as a buffer.
?Integration of existing eucalyptus windrows into the overall plan.
The overall character of the new village will be similar to neighboring Woodbury?,
a traditional community with a small-town feeling that was named America?s Best
Master-Planned Community by the National Association of Home Builders.
