95-Unit Senior Living Project Planned in Orange County

Last month, the County of Orange released a Notice of Preparation for a 95-unit active senior living residential project located within Coto de Caza at 23333 and 23335 Avenida La Caza. 

The proposed Legacy at Coto project by California Grand Villages Coto Partners LLC, would require the reuse of the area where the existing tennis facilities and administrative offices are located. All existing buildings and tennis facilities on the site would be removed and the site regraded to even out its mixed elevation to thereby create the subterranean parking area and building areas. The proposed senior living project will consist of one building. 

The building designed by Irwin Partners Architects would have an L-shaped configuration and consist of two stories on top of the subterranean parking area with a maximum combined total height of 40 feet. The residential units would be located on both floors, ranging in size from 441 square feet to 1,567 square feet. To meet the day-to-day household and recreation needs of residents, several general amenities and services will be provided. The building will have staffing and 24-hour onsite security. The residents will be provided with both gourmet restaurant food and basic bistro food, room service and housekeeping services weekly as part of the rent. 

Through concierge services, residents can arrange for the chauffeur-driven Legacy at Coto cars to take them to appointments, shopping and events and other personal needs. Onsite amenities will include the following: Bistro; Bar; Dog Spa; Fitness Center; Restaurant; Movie Cinema; Lounge; Wine and Sports Club; Swimming Pool and Spa; Onsite Walking Paths; Meditation Gardens; and Amenities Services.

Public meetings and hearings have not yet been scheduled. Future meetings would include the Coto Planning Advisory Committee and Orange County Planning Commission.
