Helping to Meet Woodland Hills’ Housing Needs

This project plan emphasizes green, open space to preserve the park-like beauty of the site. This project will offer a range of much-needed housing options to the Woodland Hills community — including new home ownership opportunities, as well as rent-restricted apartments reserved for seniors. As part of a benefits package, additional resources will be directed toward various City departments, including Recreation & Parks.

Well-planned and conscientious developments often can increase a nearby property’s value by enhancing a neighborhood’s desirability. This project will maintain much of the green open space that currently exists and improve some of the surrounding infrastructure, all while building smaller-scale homes that blend in with the neighborhood. 

The project is thoughtfully and intentionally designed to blend in with the surrounding neighborhood, with the project’s perimeter significantly set back from any immediate neighbors. Much of the property will be shielded from view by a tall, lush wall of trees surrounding the site, including many of the existing perimeter trees that will be preserved. The residential structures will remain lower to the ground, ranging from three to four-story buildings that will have minimal impact on views and nearby neighbors.

The project team will implement a number of measures and industry-leading practices to reduce dust, noise, and any general construction impacts on neighbors. Construction plans will work to ensure all dirt remains on site, which will significantly limit construction-related truck traffic through the surrounding neighborhood.

Assembly Bill 2011 (as amended by AB2243), was designed to assist production of housing along commercial corridors (or a street having a right-of-way of at least 70 feet and not greater than 150 feet). It aims to address the state’s housing crisis by reducing bureaucratic barriers and allowing for ministerial approvals of housing projects. 

AB2011 and AB2243 allow housing development projects to be processed ministerially on qualifying sites.

The project plans for more than sufficient parking on-site with a combination of surface lots and garages, providing a total of 835 parking stalls (an average of over 2 parking stalls per unit). 191 bicycle parking spaces will also be included to promote multi-modal forms of transportation.

The project proposes 398 homes and includes a mix of housing options, from rent-restricted senior housing to modern apartments, and single-family homes for sale.

The community will consist of 175 for-sale, three-story single-family houses; 126 rental apartments in a four-story building; and 97 rent-restricted apartments, with 32 set aside for seniors and 65 for families.

To name a few, the typical vocations in this income bracket include early childhood educators, caregivers and medical assistants, grocery and retail store associates, and entry-level creative industry workers.

No. This project will span a small portion of the current Woodland Hills Country Club property.

The existing country club and golf course business will no longer be in operation once construction commences. However, ownership is looking at options for preserving the clubhouse facility and opening it up as a community amenity.
