- 117.7 acre site in South Sacramento, which includes a 3 acre park and a 26.5 acre open space lot.
- The project's very low-income unit requirement (39 units) is being fulfilled off-site in Silverado Family Apartments, which is being developed by USA Properties, Inc. This apartment complex is also fulfilling the inclusionary requirements for another project, Sheldon White House (16 units), in addition to its own inclusionary requirements (17 units).
- The land for the Silverado Family Apartments complex was donated to the affordable housing developer.
- The developer's inclusionary obligations were delinked and considered fulfilled when the land for the affordable units was entitled and funding applications for the units were submitted.
- The inclusionary units faced much opposition from the community. Initially, it was planned to build all the inclusionary units on-site as single-family units. However, Meadowview area residents balked at the plan, feeling they already had their fair share of low-income units and their neighborhood didn't need more. A new plan was drawn up to move the inclusionary units to an apartment complex approximately 5 miles away in the North Laguna area. North Laguna residents, however, also protested the units, saying that many of the units in the apartment complex were already designated as affordable and adding more would create a "slum." Ultimately, though, it was decided and approved to keep build the inclusionary units off-site in the North Laguna complex.
- First inclusionary plan was approved in June 2002. Amended plan with inclusionary units moved to off-site location approved in December 2003.
