An assisted-living facility could be coming to Horizon West.
Orange County leaders hosted a community meeting regarding a
change determination request pertaining to a 6.55 acre parcel at
8498 Seidel Road.
The property is located in a "townhome district" of
the existing Horizon West Village F. The requested change would
allow for the development of a 75-bed assisted-living facility
instead of townhomes. The property is currently entitled to the
development of up to 19 townhomes, Orange County Planner Jason
Sorensen said.
"They're amending the PD (planned development) to
change that (current entitlement for townhomes) to allow for ALF
— the assisted-living facility," Sorenson said.
"Our code allows it, because it considers it a special
exception."
