16800 MAGNOLIA
16800 Magnolia Street (former Boomers property)
BACKGROUND
The City of Fountain Valley, like other local agencies across the state, has rezoned properties in the City to allow for housing development as part of a broader effort to increase housing supply and meet local needs. Through the state-mandated Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)—a process managed in Southern California by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)—Fountain Valley has been assigned a target of 4,839 new housing units, including 2,093 for lower-income households. While the City is solely responsible for identifying and zoning appropriate sites to accommodate this growth, private developers are responsible for the actual planning and construction on any site that has been rezoned to allow for new homes.
WHY THIS LOCATION
The City Council, Planning Commission, and the General Plan Advisory Committee, composed of residents and stakeholders, worked to identify potential housing sites that met state requirements while maintaining community aspirations, economic stability, and the need for open space. To identify sites for future housing development, the City used several criteria: targeting vacant or underutilized land, focusing on areas suitable for higher-density housing, and ensuring access to infrastructure and public services. Additional considerations included proximity to schools, jobs, and transit, as well as property owner interest.
UPCOMING EVENTS
An appeal has been filed regarding the Planning Commission's decision for the 16800 Magnolia Street housing project. A City Council appeals hearing will be held at City Hall on:
Tuesday, July 15, 2025, at 6:00pm
