North of Covell Blvd and Alhambra Drive

This Shriner's Property is a 234-acre parcel located outside and adjacent to Davis’ northeastern city limits of the City of Davis. While no longer owned by the Shriners, the property has been commonly referred to as the Shriners property (Property). It is bounded on the west by the existing Wildhorse neighborhood and the Wildhorse Horse Ranch property, on the south by East Covell Boulevard, with existing residential beyond, and by undeveloped farmland to the north and east. Roughly the northern 20% of the project site is bisected by Channel A (a tributary to Willow Slough), which extends from the Wildhorse Golf Course.

The existing Yolo County General Plan and zoning designations for the property are Agricultural (AG) and Agricultural Intensive (A-N). The project proposes residential uses in a wide variety of products and densities, from high density attached product to traditional single-family homes. Proposed residential land uses would total 1,200 dwelling units, with an overall residential density of 9.0 dwelling units per acre. Additionally, the project includes a community park, transit station, eclectic retail/entertainment area, agricultural buffers, greenways, and a passive nature area.

Environmental Review

An EIR is being prepared for the project and information will be posted when it is available. For general information on the environmental review process, see: How to Participate in the Environmental Review Process.
