CSU Montery Bay North Village Plan
Monterey County, CA

Program: Site planning, housing type development, and development standards for a 205-acre Traditional Neighborhood Development on the CSU Monterey Bay Campus, on the former Fort Ord military base. The plan will incorporate 100% workforce housing for CSU faculty, staff, and students.

Program: Phase I of the plan provides 1,300 units of housing within two distinct neighborhoods oriented around mixed-use neighborhood centers at opposite corners of the site. The plan integrates a wide range of rental and for-sale housing types from flats over retail and live-work units at the designated centers to bungalow courts and detached single-family houses within the neighborhood.

The development standards and building type design established the parameters for lot size, setbacks, building height, relationship to adjacent buildings, and distribution of the housing types. This created the framework from which the architects were hired to develop architectural drawings for each type. Opticos has been retained to review their designs to ensure that they meet the intent of the standards.
