SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES

The single-family detached homes are located primarily in the northeasterly portion of the Specific Plan area, within and adjacent to the Canyon floor. With the limitations of the Hillside Performance Standards (HPS), this area of the property lends itself best to residential development. The majority of the slopes in the easterly portion of the property is less than 20 percent, and is considered developable by the HPS Ordinance. A majority of the proposed 323 homes in this category will have views of the surrounding natural open space, however, will be nestled in the canyon and not visible from the valley floor or the immediate neighbors. This category of home has lot sizes ranging from 5,500 to 9,000 square feet. Surrounding all of the residential neighborhoods is a 100-foot wide fuel modification zone that is adjacent to wildlife and natural slope areas. This category of homes has lot sizes ranging from 6,000 to 9,000 square feet. The minimum lot size is 6,000 square feet. Included within this neighborhood type is a 100-foot wide fuel modification zone along those lots that is adjacent to wildlife/natural slope areas.

SENIOR HOUSING

138 of the Runkle Canyon units will be senior housing units, detached or attached, located centrally within the community. In keeping with the goals and policies of the Simi Valley General Plan Housing Element, 62 of these dwellings will be made available as affordable senior housing.

SINGLE-FAMILY ESTATES

25 lots are being proposed as residential estates, each at least one acre in size. These lots are dispensed throughout the community, enabling a mixture of housing types that offer diversity in streetscapes and character. The majority of these homes are planned at connection points with the existing neighborhoods to preserve the rural feel of the area.
