Location

The Canyon Springs residential subdivision is adjacent to the Glenshire residential development, approximately one mile south of Interstate 80 and has direct access to Interstate 80 via the Hirschdale off-ramp. The Glenshire area is served with a neighborhood convenience store and the Glenshire Elementary School. Canyon Springs incorporates a variety of trails and a networked road system that provides connectivity for pedestrian use to the Glenshire area.

Canyon Springs will incorporate a clustered design which devotes more than 68% +/- of the site to natural open space. The project site is zoned RS-1, Single Family Residential, one dwelling unit per acre. This zoning is intended for residential development, because of its location being adjacent to the existing Glenshire development and the existing public utility services available to the property.
