Placer County has set the wheels in motion for a key community discussion on the future of affordable housing in Penryn. Slated for October 1, a public meeting will open the floor to questions and offer a transparent look at the proposed Hope Way Apartments project. For those keen to join the conversation, make your way to Del Oro High School from 6 to 8 p.m., as reported by Placer County's official announcement.
Behind the project stands USA Properties Fund, Inc., seeking the green light on a 240-apartment build over 11 acres of land along Penryn Road, a stone's throw from the highway and a hop away from local businesses. The land, already earmarked for multifamily units, could see up to 30 units per acre. Chasing a state density bonus, the developers are looking to provide more homes and design options for potential residents, bearing in mind the state's guidelines.
Placer County's Planning Director, Chris Pahule, highlighted the purpose behind this gathering. "This meeting is being scheduled to provide the community with a clear picture of what's being proposed and to explain the review process," Pahule said, emphasizing the county's dedication to transparency. For those seeking details, county planners will be available to present the project's blueprint and answer questions from the public, according to a statement made by Placer County. Those needing more information prior to the event can visit the project's webpage or contact the CDRA Planning Division via email.
