This parcel of DC Ranch was initially intended for a house of worship. Through diligent efforts by the builder, Rosewood Homes, the community repealed this land use restriction allowing for a neighborhood of single family detached homes. The site plan was developed to blend with the existing surrounding neighborhoods by continuing the form and character already established in DC Ranch. Open space corridors are maintained to preserve the desert character and an internal path connects the neighborhood to the comprehensive community path and trail system. Automobile access to the site will be provided through a gated entry from Desert Camp Drive. The entry arrival is framed with a simple landscape arrangement to accent the large open space corridor view. Homes are also aligned to take advantage of the adjacent open space, distant mountain peaks, and city lights views. Project involvement included conceptual site planning, analyzing product fit, conceptual grading, height analysis, coordinating city submittals, assisting with developer approval, and public presentation graphics.
