  • Wheeler District reveals detailed plans

    Wheeler has now submitted their full Planned Unit Development application to the planning department.

    The full application but it's 13MB so what follows is an attempt to summarize the most interesting elements.

    In the first image below you can see the outlined 15-acre Phase which will consist of streets (none currently exist) about 150 apartments (the c-shaped buildings) and then 50 single family lots, a renovated terminal building (future community center) and a 3-story office building.

    Wherein most suburban homes fit 4 dwellings per acre, this will about double double that. Approximately 35 homes will be 90' x 36' lots; the remaining 15 or so will be on 65' x 30' lots. Even in the case of the very small lots, there will be no shared walls.

    Blair Humphreys said their strategy is to partner with a homebuilder in this first phase to make sure the homes interact property with the street and other elements. After they get this right, they may just sell lots to homebuilders, although established standards will need to be strictly followed. They hope to develop the office building themselves and are seeking developers for the apartment component.

    Homes would range in $250,000 to $350,000; apartment rents TBD.
