This 52 single-family lot neighborhood is located in the Clairemont community. Tavara Ridge contains nearly six acres of open space. Over five acres of this space is preserved habitat.
28 of the residential lots are adjacent to a large open space lot. This lot, which covers much of the large canyon 90 feet below, contains a covenant of easement and will always remain a natural open space habitat.
Project Challenge/Solutions
Tavara Ridge is located 90 feet above a canyon containing a large amount of natural habitat. This required a detailed fuel modification plan and implementation. The Grading Plan incorporated detailed designs to avoid all sensitive habitats. Highly responsive construction support was provided to ensure all environmental standards were achieved.
The northerly boundary is shared with a Montessori school. We collaborated with the school and their schedule to provide a useable space for the school along this shared property line. This included an encroachment into the project for the school’s shed.
