In what would be a first for Manteca, developers are queuing up residential projects that could end up with the city building homes simultaneously on its northern, western, southern, and eastern flanks while at the same time pursuing infill projects in the central district.
Two developments along North Austin Road between Louise Avenue and East Yosemite Avenue are now being processed by the Manteca Community Development Department.
They are the 115 home Inderbitzen Estates and the 165 home Micheletos Estates.
Both projects border each other. They front Austin Road on the east and back up to homes on Vasconcellos Avenue. The two endeavors are almost directly east of the Cowell School campus.
The two developments will mean Azaela Drive and Nehemiah Drive will be extended to the east.
It is the third development submitted to the city so far this year in the general area.
The third project known as 4-C Ranch is proposed north of Louise Avenue and east of the Diamond Oaks neighborhood KB Homes built in the mid-1990s.
The 68-home neighborhood will require the extension of Vasconcellos Avenue north of Louise Avenue.
Cork Oak Lane and Black Pine Way — two stubbed streets in the Diamond Oaks neighborhood — will be extended to the east.
The project will require the 19.68 acres to be annexed to the city.
It is within the general plan’s sphere of influence. As such, the land has already been identified as a logical annexation to the city.
Once annexed, it will bring the City of Manteca boundary north of Louise Avenue to within a quarter of a mile of Austin Road.
Manteca’s city limits already border roughly 50 percent of the west side of Austin Road between Louise Avenue and East Highway 120 (Yosemite Avenue).
The city already borders all of Austin Road’s west side between East Highway 120 and the Highway 99 overcrossing.
Development in East Manteca has been relatively low-key in recent years.
That’s because much of the area contagious to existing development is in smaller parcels that are suitable for a subdivision are between 5 and 20 acres.
The area, just like Woodward Avenue before development started south of the 120 Bypass, has numerous one acre and even smaller rural estate style parcels lining much of Lathrop Road, Southland Road, Northland Road, Austin Road, and Castle Road.
They are between areas that are now developed and larger tracts of land more conducive to subdivisions of 150 homes or larger such as the Inderbitzen and Micheletos projects.
That said, northeast area — in addition to southeast Manteca — are the areas that factor in heavily to Manteca potentially reaching 211,000 residents based on the city’s current general plan.
The epicenter of home building will still likely be in southwest, west, and mid-south Manteca for the next 5 to 10 years.
A new northern subdivision, the 177-home Indelicato neighborhood, is now under construction on Airport Way adjacent to the northern boundary of Del Webb.
It is in addition to a 123-acre annexation that will include 455 homes know as North Union Road that the City Council approved last week.
It borders the existing Union Ranch neighborhood on the south, Union Road on the west, and will be even with the northern most boundary of Del Webb.
Triplexes & duplexes
at 190 Lupton Street
Plans have been submitted for five triplex and duplex units on a vacant parcel at 190 Lupton Street.
Earlier this year, the city received plans for a 44-unit complex on 1.25 acres tucked behind existing homes on the western end of Wawona Street.
The proposed complex at 2027 Wawona Street will be accessed from the north side of the street, five homes east of Airport Way.
The access point aligns almost exactly with Depot Drive.
Development moves
forward in southeast
A third housing development has been proposed along Sedan Avenue as Manteca subdivisions head southward.
Alice Avenue today T-intersects into Sedan Avenue just to the southeast of Manteca.
If Alice Avenue — which intersects with West Ripon Road to the south — continued north of Sedan it would run into a metal agriculture structure next to a house.
Other than that, there are almond orchards in all four directions.
That is going to change.
The City of Manteca in December received plans for a proposed 202-home subdivision on land north of Sedan at the intersection with Alice Avenue. The land would need to be annexed to Manteca.
That comes after Meritage Homes in July submitted plans to build 310 homes on 58.45 acres at 9715 Sedan Ave.
The Meritage property abuts the west side of Sedan Avenue between the two 90 degree curves that takes the primarily east-west road on a north-south alignment for a short distance.
The proposed Meritage project is immediately south of the Hat Ranch property where 738 homes will be built.
Manteca’s city limits already border Sedan Avenue on the west side of South Manteca Road/South Main Street.
Raymus Homes is now making various improvements on the northwest corner of Sedan Avenue and South Manteca Road.
It is where the southernmost neighborhood of the 1,301 home Griffin Park planned community will be built.
