The messenger project in Calabasas
By: Tammy Sue Roberts
A development for the intersection of Las Virgenes and Agoura Roads has been proposed for the city of Calabasas. The 77.5 acres is being considered for what Calabasas is calling, The Messenger Project, with plans to allocate 2.5 acres for commercial uses, half an acre for senior affordable housing (8 units), 4.7 acres for multi-family residential units (75 townhome units), 15 acres for single family residential units (75 units), 54 acres of dedicated open space and 0.7 acres for public streets. The development on Las Virgenes and Agoura road would also include remediation of an ancient landslide on the southern portion of the project site.
As part of the initial development process, the Calabasas Messenger Project requires an Environmental Impact Report. A Notice of Preparation (NOP) was released in May and a public comment period on the NOP lasts until June 10, 2011.
