Project Description

The Saratoga Retirement Community (SRC) campus is located at 14500 Fruitvale Avenue, totaling approximately 37 acres. SRC submitted an application to the City seeking approval to construct three new buildings which would contain 52 independent living units. If approved, this would bring the total residential units to 298 and skilled nursing beds to 52. The facility currently has 249 units (143 independent living units and 106 assisted living units) and 94 skilled nursing beds. A new meeting room would be added to the existing Manor building, and a new workout room would be added to the existing fitness center. The project proposal includes 113 additional parking spaces and the construction of a public trail connecting Fruitvale Avenue with the San Marcos Open Space.
