The L-1 designation permits residential uses with densities up to 3 units/acre.

The County Flood Insurance Rate Maps indicate that the remainder of the site is located in a Zone A; this indicates that those portions of the property are within a 100 -year flood area. As a site that has been cleared, the subject property is not environmentally significant. Utilities and Services The site is within the Urban Service .Area of the county. Centralized potable water service is provided to the site by the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. Centralized wastewater service is available from the nearby West Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant.
