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.
