VILLAGE: What
 

Renderings | Shops and Services

The Corral Village Design was revised four times during the environmental review process to reduce its size and protect scenic views. This is a neighborhood-serving shopping village, not a strip mall. It is also the county's first, new-construction green LEED commercial project and one of the first in the state.

The final site plan reduces the overall project size to less than 100,000 square feet, breaks up the square footage into 10 separate buildings, moves all buildings at least 100 feet away from the frontage roads, lowers building heights, breaks up parking areas, and creates landscaped berms and vegetated islands within the parking areas.


This is the final site plan given the final go ahead by the county supervisors on February 7, 2012. Click to enlarge.

Features of the approved site plan:

  • 99,970 gross square feet broken up into nine village buildings.

  • All buildings except one are single storied.

  • Pedestrian paths and open air plazas connect village buildings.

  • Heritage oak trees stay and are incorporated into the village.

  • A forward thinking rainwater harvesting and recharge system.

  • Wide, deep, planted berms on frontage roads create a green screen for passersby.

  • Village reduces vehicle miles traveled on Highway 68 by 3,500 cars each day.
