Fairfield Residential quietly submitted their plans for the Kaiser site the week before the Christmas holiday break. The plan calls out well over 800 units, with the lowest-density (single-family home) lots to be sold to another developer at some future date. The breakdown of the plan is as follows:

Housing Type Units Bathrooms Building Type
 Unit Type
Single-family
Detached		 45 143 45 two-story 15 two-bedroom
30 three-bedroom
Single-family
Attached Row Homes		 73 216 15 three-story 40 two-bedroom
33 three-bedroom
Single-family
Attached Town Homes		 152 477 11 three-story 44 two-bedroom
86 three-bedroom
22 four-bedroom
Multiple-family
Apartments		 542 837 2 four-story 271 one-bedroom
247 two-bedroom
24 three-bedroom
Totals 812 1673 45 two-story
26 three-story
2 four-story		 271 one-bedroom
346 two-bedroom
173 three-bedroom
22 four-bedroom

The great majority of the units will be in the higher four-story buildings. They are listing the size of the Kaiser Site at over 26 acres, which includes the majority of the street Kaiser Drive. Without including Kaiser Drive, the density of the housing elements of the project is even higher than previously calculated.

Fairfield Residential’s intent is to build the multi-family apartment and town home portions of the plan. It is proposed that the single-family portion of the site (single-family detached and single-family attached row homes) will be sold to another builder to develop. The problem with Fairfield Residential leaving the single-family lots undone and only focusing on the high-density apartment and town home units is that it opens up the land to higher-density units in the future.
