The subject property is generally located north of Ortega Street and west of Matador Avenue in Billings Heights. The property is zoned Suburban Neighborhood (N3). The land is currently vacant open grassland.

That extension request was granted by the City Council on June 10, 2024. The final plat date was set to October 25, 2026. The extension request approval is attached to this staff report.
