Listening to the community

Over the years, Pacific Coast Homes has held more than 100 formal discussions with Fullerton residents, homeowner associations, the business community, school districts and city leaders. This commitment to community outreach has allowed Fullerton residents numerous opportunities to offer feedback on the plan. The following changes have been made as a result of these talks.

Estate homes added
West Coyote Hills now features 16 estate homes on half-acre lots along Euclid Street. These homes will replace 32 conventional lots and create a transition between West Coyote Hills and the adjacent North Fullerton community. The Euclid Street entry to the project (previously at Lakeview Drive) was also relocated to just north of La Senda Drive.

Landscape buffer added to protect views
A landscaped buffer along the eastern edge of the retail village was added to create visual separation between the retail center and neighbors.

Multiple-use site moved to protect views
The multiple-use site was relocated to protect views from adjacent neighborhoods and increase the open space buffer between the community and existing homes on Coyote Hills Drive and Applewood Circle.

Alternatives to reduce or eliminate Coyote Hills Drive cut-through traffic studied
In response to feedback from neighboring homeowner associations, several alternatives have been proposed that would reduce or eliminate project traffic on Coyote Hills Drive. These alternatives will be considered by the City of Fullerton when the project is considered for approval.

Fewer homes/more natural open space
To ensure adequate protection for the threatened California gnatcatcher and other wildlife, the plan was reduced in size from 820 homes to a maximum of 760 homes early in the planning process. In contrast, the City's existing Coyote Hills West Master Plan 2A allows for 1,141 homes on the site - 50 percent more than proposed in the current plan.

Trail added to Gilbert Street bridge
The Gilbert Street bridge will be widened by six feet to allow equestrian riders, bicyclists and other trail users to safely cross while traffic continues to freely flow.
