Windsor Creek Elementary School property acquisition

Description

The town is negotiating to buy the former elementary school site, which the school district may sell for a 368-unit subsidized housing project; residents packed public comment urging a park instead.

Impact summary

Whatever happens, this half-mile stretch of Windsor Creek neighborhood changes drastically — a park would add community space; 368 apartments would add an estimated 700-1,000 cars.

Windsor Creek School Site Negotiations End

The school district has declared the 11.5-acre Windsor Creek Elementary site surplus and is negotiating with a developer for employee/affordable housing — up to 368 units. The town's zoning currently only allows public/school uses, so any housing needs a general plan amendment, rezoning, and likely a full EIR. Residents are split between opposing housing and urging the town to buy it for parks or a sports complex.
