The city of Vacaville announced this week it has negotiated a settlement with a developer that sued the city after the City Council denied its request to build a large apartment complex.
The developer, TA Leisure Town LLC, has agreed to drop its lawsuit if the council approves new terms between the city and the developer, according to the city. The developer filed suit in December after the council denied their 236-unit Southtown Apartments project in November. The project narrowly passed a planning commission vote in August with a 4-to-3 vote.
The city cited Senate Bill 330, the Housing Accountability Act passed in 2019 to address California's housing shortage, as a reason for its settlement. The law essentially cuts red tape for housing development in several ways, one of which is by mandating that if a proposed project adheres to a city's established planning standards, a municipality must approve it unless it can outline specific adverse impacts it might have on the community.
Part of the settlement agreed to includes a"significantly" revised parking plan that reduces on-street parking by 50 percent and adds onsite parking. Vacaville said that the developer has also agreed to provide"substantial" funding for police and fire services and additional privacy screening around the project.
