The Trails at Lyons Canyon will permanently dedicate 80% of the Project as protected open space.
The Trails at Lyons Canyon is a proposed community of new homes, permanent open space and connections to 20+ miles of trails. Perfectly positioned along the I-5 freeway and only a mile away from Valencia Marketplace, The Trails plans to bring 510 attainably priced homes for working professionals, families and individuals. Additionally, the community will include onsite affordable housing for seniors.
Comparing the 2009 Plan to The Trails
In 2009, large luxury estate homes were approved to be built across 230+ acres. Homes were spread across valleys and canyons with significant fire risks, disturbing sensitive ridgelines and preventing trail expansions due to the development footprint.
However, in 2015, the County updated the General Plan as part of its efforts to respond to the increasing demand for attainable and affordable homes. The project site was reevaluated and approved to accommodate more housing than the luxury estate housing plan that was approved in 2009.
Compared to the old 2009 plan, The Trails at Lyons Canyon will preserve more open space, connect local trail systems and reduce development impact – all while building more homes for middle-income families, professionals and seniors.
