Greentree Development Group, Syar Industries - 2022


Loewke Planning Associates has managed, designed, and processed all entitlements for Greentree, including a GP amendment, rezoning, vesting tentative map, and development agreement. Greentree is a unique 185.4-acre mixed-use urban infill project located in Vacaville. The plan calls for adaptive reuse of a golf course site closed in 2016 in order to deliver specific housing products and support facilities now missing in Vacaville, thereby supporting the City’s housing and economic development goals. The Specific Plan provides a walkable living environment with 950 higher-density workforce housing units, 199 lower-density senior units, and two neighborhood parks, connected via a network of trails, bikeways, and “complete streets”, and integrated with 300,000 square feet of services and neighborhood shopping. Greentree’s workforce housing component is targeted to satisfy a portion of the demand now being generated by job growth directly across I-80 within the City’s major biotechnology and high technology manufacturing center. Greentree also delivers critical enhancements to the City’s infrastructure, while providing missing recreational and neighborhood shopping amenities for the surrounding community. The plan provides a wide range of pedestrian and bicycle interconnectivity, while avoiding cut through traffic and maximizing opportunities to reduce automobile usage. Finally, Greentree is an all-electric community which maximizes opportunities for alternative energy usage, environmental sustainability, and a building a strong social fabric.
