Transforming Vacant Land into Modern Housing

The comprehensive site plan involves strategically splitting the existing single lot into 20 individual lots to maximize space utilization. This layout allows for the construction of 20 primary single-family houses alongside 19 functional accessory dwelling units. Visitors who wish to experience more local sights can look into places to go throughout the wider North Bay community.

Three of the total housing units will be strictly deed-restricted to serve as affordable housing options for moderate-income households. This integration of diverse housing types addresses vital community needs while maintaining aesthetic harmony. Visitors can also explore charming nearby destinations like San Rafael during their extended regional travels.

Architectural Design and Community Layout

The innovative project makes unique use of Assembly Bill 1033, which legally permits accessory dwelling units to be sold as separate dwellings. Expert architects from Bassenian Lagoni have carefully designed the structures as simple gable-roof starter homes featuring modern finishes. Exterior elements will incorporate durable composite shingles, classic lap siding, elegant stone veneer, and textured stucco.

Sam Harned Landscape Architects is actively handling the detailed site design to ensure an inviting outdoor environment for future residents. The planned landscaping includes a welcoming central courtyard, functional surface parking planters, and a lush accent lawn. Construction for this promising residential development is currently estimated to take approximately 18 months from the initial groundbreaking ceremony.
