Providence Landing Master-Planned Community

PROJECT OBJECTIVE

Determine the feasibility of additional housing in the Vandenberg Village community, and provide site design and design guidelines for the community.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Ravatt Albrecht & Associates designed this new, 284 home community and its associated recreational areas, including a recreation center, pool, sports fields and courts, parks, and trails.

Work included a master plan in which landscape areas are designed around natural habitats (including Oak Woodland, Chaparral Range, and Riparian Corridors); wildlife corridors run from North to South and from East to West; water flows along the corridors to recharge basins that revitalize groundwater using surface run-off; and roads travel along the contours of the site to reduce traffic.

The result is a community that incorporates porch neighborhoods and places emphasis on recreation and society. Multi-family workforce housing makes up twenty percent of the housing; the public central park consists of a 6,000 sq. ft. recreation building, pool, three baseball fields, a multi-purpose field for soccer and football, two tennis courts, four volleyball courts, a tot play area, and walking and cycling trails; and space for a future interpretive center was planned at the Burton Mesa Chaparral Trailhead.
