Loewke Planning has managed, designed, and processed all entitlements for Greentree, including a GP amendment, rezoning, vesting tentative map, and development agreement. Greentree is a unique 185.4-acre mixed-use urban infill project located in Vacaville. The plan calls for adaptive reuse of a golf course site closed in 2016 in order to deliver specific housing products and support facilities now missing in Vacaville, thereby supporting the City’s housing and economic development goals. The Specific Plan provides a walkable living environment with 950 higher-density workforce housing units, 199 lower-density senior units, and two neighborhood parks, connected via a network of trails, bikeways, and “complete streets”, and integrated with 300,000 square feet of services and neighborhood shopping. Greentree’s workforce housing component is targeted to satisfy a portion of the demand now being generated by job growth directly across I-80 within the City’s major biotechnology and high technology manufacturing center. Greentree also delivers critical enhancements to the City’s infrastructure, while providing missing recreational and neighborhood shopping amenities for the surrounding community. The plan provides a wide range of pedestrian and bicycle interconnectivity, while avoiding cut through traffic and maximizing opportunities to reduce automobile usage. Finally, Greentree is an all-electric community which maximizes opportunities for alternative energy usage, environmental sustainability, and a building a strong social fabric.

Following the Specific Plan, Rezoning, and General Plan Amendment, Loewke Planning continued to provide project management for a team of over 20 subconsultants in order to prepare the R7 subarea apartment project site, along with the northern detention basin, for vertical improvements. Construction is expected to be completed by June 2024. While coordinating between various firms, the project encountered the need for tree removal, a traffic control plan for utility work in Orange Drive and Leisure Town Road, preparation of an access road leading to subarea R7, Phase II ESA soil remediation, soil analysis to ensure residential standards were being met, an unexpected live gas line which necessitated coordination with PG∓E, administration of the mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP), creation of a lighting, landscaping and maintenance district (LLMD), coordination with existing neighbors in the leisure town area and along Leisure Town Road, the need to power streetlights to allow severing an existing connection old Gilley Way so that it could be demolished and so that the project site could be graded, preparation of a conditional letter of map revision (CLOMR) leading to approval and a letter of map revision (LOMR), review of R7 apartment site project plans for consistency with the Greentree Specific Plan, and reviewed offers from homebuilders and other potential purchasers.
