17-home development going into Riverside

[Non-RedNeck Westsider]

I thought 17 homes seemed like a lot, but after playing around with the layout a bit, these will probably be much larger than the adj. bungalows with larger lots and probably larger setbacks.

$375 might be on the low end if these things start creeping up to 2.2k/2.6k sf

Edit:  And then I read the article and see they're thinking 2k-2.5k sf and that tells me you're getting standard builder's grade at these prices.  I expect vanilla on the design and finishes.

My brain is having a blip and a bleep.  Is this situs the location of the old RADO development called "Green on Green?"  I recall they were going to build... 10?... new homes on this parcel.  I think it was this parcel. Back in 2008 time-frame.  I think they had the PUD from Council and the builder lined up.

But then something happened and it all went to poop.


Edit: Yep, here's the legislation from 2008 - one of the TIFs has all the details. http://cityclts.coj.net/coj/COJBillList.asp?Bill=2008-0109

You are correct. Another CDC (Operation New Hope) under LISC got a few LEED certified homes built in Springfield and East Jax and RADO wanted to do the same with Green on Green before the RADO fallout happened. Personally, I am glad it fell apart only because the funds were for low income families and targeted neighborhoods, which Riverside did not and does not qualify for. LISC figured out RADO's game of padding numbers to make the area qualify and that was the end RADO and Green on Green.

They have approval for the 17 lots/homes?  There is a lot of hurdles to clear still I think. HPC, LUZ, and RAP.

Pretty small lots, but that is in keeping with the neighborhood.
