Not yet: on September 22, 2026 the Planning Commission voted 7 to 0 for the 16 condominiums at Amado Road and Sunrise Way, but they also need a General Plan change from the City Council, and no Council date is given.
What the city is deciding
The proposal needs a General Plan change from Neighborhood Community Commercial, which allows no homes on this parcel, to Medium Density Residential. Staff asked the Commission to recommend that change to the City Council, approve a development permit and approve a subdivision map allowing the homes to be sold individually.
Where and who it affects
The 1.34 acre site is an abandoned parking lot at the northwest corner of East Amado Road and North Sunrise Way. It sits in the Section 14 Specific Plan area, with a post office to the north, a telephone switching building to the south, apartments across Sunrise Way and condominiums to the west.
The proposal has 16 attached two story homes in two buildings of eight.
What it could mean for your property
Each home would include an attached garage for two cars, a private back yard, a covered patio and a small pool. The buildings would reach 24 feet, the maximum allowed. The proposed residential designation allows up to 20 homes on this parcel.
Access would come from Amado Road through a private drive aisle. There would be four guest spaces and six foot perimeter walls, with no gate.
Draft conditions assign maintenance of the private sewer and enforcement of drive aisle parking restrictions to a homeowners association. Staff described the homes as aimed at “workforce housing” and “middle income housing”, but wrote that the final sales price “is not known by the City.” Before grading, the builder must show a tribal habitat conservation fee has been paid to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.
Questions to ask before you buy or build
- Has the City Council approved the parcel’s General Plan change?
- What association dues would apply to a home in this development?
- Is this parcel leased land or owned land?
What happens next
On July 28 the Commission voted 5 to 0 to continue the hearing and asked for changes. The applicant then added a service walkway with back yard gates and a shade study, but declined to stagger the homes. On September 22 the Commission approved the project 7 to 0, draft minutes show, adding shade conditions. Council and design committee dates are not yet given.
