Richards Ranch LLC is seeking the prezoning and annexation of four parcels, totaling about 44 acres, spanning Union Valley Parkway on the east side of Highway 135 to allow development of commercial spaces and high-density housing.
The proposal calls for 106,800 square feet of general commercial space on 16.35 acres, 400 apartments on 18.2 acres and 95 townhomes on 9.2 acres, with some of the housing for rent and some for sale.
Vehicles flow eastward on Union Valley Parkway between vacant parcels Richards Ranch LLC is asking Santa Maria to annex so the company can build commercial spaces and high-density housing. A draft environmental impact report found the annexation would result in some significant impacts that could be mitigated to less than significant.
