Murrieta Residents Stop High Density Housing Complex. . . for now

by Douglas V. Gibbs

The 112 unit apartment complex planned for the corner of the Golf Club at Rancho California in Murrieta has been stopped...for now. Residents argued the high density housing project would impact the area's waterways and traffic situation on surrounding streets, while also requiring a costly reconfiguration of the existing golf course to accommodate the complex.

A court ruling, which was handed down June 12, stops Murrieta's January 2014 approval of the project. This means that the city council will have to, at some point, formally rescind its approval.

In order to revive the plan, the developer will need to pay for a full environmental impact report and once again seek approval from the council. Mayor Harry Ramos was the lone dissenting vote when the City Council originally approved the project.
