2020 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
​
The following site plan for the southern parcel (8.7 acres) fronting 2920 Expo Parkway was recently presented to the City for a building permit. The floor plans have been covered to protect future tenant privacy. The larger of the two apartment buildings has 63 units and the smaller has 42. This does not necessarily represent what will be approved, as the design or site plan may change during the City's review process.
​
​
The developer applying for rezone has proposed a high-density, 4-story apartment development with a potential of 1,195 dwelling units for the entire quarry site in accordance with the rezone. The proposed development site plan shows approximately 2,500 parking spaces.
