SIMI VALLEY : Hearing Planned on Last Phase of Tract
The Simi Valley Planning Commission tonight will consider a developer’s proposal to build 235 houses that would make up the last phase of the exclusive Indian Hills subdivision at the northeast end of the city.
Beverly Hills-based Casden Properties has proposed to build 97 houses on 22 acres east of Yosemite Avenue and north of Flanagan Drive, planning officials said. The developer also wants to construct 138 houses on 34 acres south of Flanagan Drive.
If approved by the commission, the development will bring the total number of residences in the Indian Hills subdivision to 809, said Wolf Ascher, the city’s planning manager. Work began on the subdivision in 1977.
Because Casden’s original development agreement with the city was approved before the adoption of Simi Valley’s growth-control ordinance in 1986, the developer would be able to apply for building permits immediately if the project is approved, Ascher said.
The Planning Commission will meet in City Council chambers beginning at 7 p.m.
