Remarks

Outstanding residential development opportunity in Oroville's Thermalito area. This approximately 40-acre property forms part of a larger approximately 80-acre residential project for which a historical tentative subdivision map depicted 270 proposed home sites. Based on the approximate division of that plan, this individual property represents the potential for approximately 150 home sites.

The remaining project issue involved the final drainage treatment for runoff from the creek. The application eventually expired before that final matter was completed, but the extensive prior work may give a new builder or developer a tremendous starting point. Historical project maps show public water and sanitary sewer lines at the property boundaries. The utility design included a proposed 8-inch looped water-main system connecting to existing water infrastructure, along with existing 8-inch and 12-inch sanitary sewer mains at various locations around the overall property.
