Gilbert Property Development

Here is some info from the environmental impact report on a future development just west of Knightsen Ave on the north side of East Cypress and extends to Sellers Ave. A link to the report is here..http://www.ci.oakley.ca.us/UserFiles/File/Gilbert/Gilbert-PDF.pdf

Section 3 of the report provides information that most homeowners would be interested in.

Project Components
The proposed land plan for the Gilbert Property project site includes residential development,
trails, a park, levees, storm water detention ponds, and the infrastructure improvements necessary to accommodate the new development (See Figure 3-3 Gilbert Tentative Map.)
The project applications reflect the following:
Residential Development
The proposed land plan for the Gilbert Property project includes a variety of residential
development. The neighborhoods would be woven together into a comprehensive community
through the use of traffic and pedestrian circulation, a centrally located park, surrounding a
stormwater retention pond, coordinated landscape treatments and complimentary architectural
styles.
Two developers, Castle Companies and Ryder Homes, plan to develop the Gilbert property site
(Subdivision 9033). The development would include up to 510 residential units. The Gilbert
property would consist of five neighborhoods with varying lot sizes. One neighborhood consists
of split-lot duplexes with lots containing 3,690 and 4,050 square feet. The second neighborhood
is small lot detached homes with lot sizes typically 4,500 square feet. A third neighborhood,
similar to the second, includes mostly 5,000 square foot lots. A fourth neighborhood includes
wide lots with 8,000 to 9,000 square feet. The fifth neighborhood is a more traditional 5,000 to
6,000 square foot lot subdivision with lots alternating to provide street frontage variations.
Open Space
Park
The Gilbert Property would include an approximately 3-acre park in the center of the community
adjacent to the stormwater pond.
Trails
The proposed project would contribute to the construction of trails along the north side of
Cypress Road, east side of Sellers Avenue, along the north edge of the property adjacent to the
CCWD/USBR canal and on certain local streets in the project site. The Gilbert Property would
provide its portion of the trail system in substantial conformance with the planning framework.
The trail would ultimately provide pedestrian circulation to and from the Delta Vista Middle
School, the Iron House Elementary School, the neighborhood park and the proposed 55-acre City
Park north of the CCWD/USBR canal.
