SAN RAMON, CA — The Sunset Development Company submitted formal development plans to the City of San Ramon for Orchards, a planned 2510-home mixed-use development in Bishop Ranch on the former Chevron Park. The application materials include Design Guidelines, and the architectural design for the first phase, which will include 426 homes.

Orchards comprises three districts containing 2,510 residential homes. One district will be a lower-density neighborhood of single-family townhomes and detached homes along a network of streets, mews, and mini-parks. Another is a district of multi-family homes containing apartments, condos, and senior and affordable housing. The final district is a mixed-use community containing residential communities with ground-floor commercial uses. The Mixed-Use District will contain two streets with wide sidewalks containing shops, restaurants, outdoor seating, and the 2.5-acre Orchards Park.

San Ramon city staff estimate the full approval process will take roughly a year, according to an announcement from the Sunset Development Company. The city is expected to provide formal feedback on the initial review mid-December. See here for more information.
