Lakeside is a lake-oriented, 350-unit residential development located in Buena Park, an incorporated Orange County, California, city. The 70-acre site originally was planned for development as an industrial site but faced opposition from nearby residents. Development as a residential community presented the developer with several obstacles Including the site’s location within a floodplain and its proximity to a municipal airport and to an existing industrial site. Using the fill created by constructing a lake, the developer was able to raise the site out of the floodplain while creating a valuable community amenity. Use of the on-site fill resulted in significant cost savings. The community offers a range of price points and amenities Including a boat dock and opportunity for fishing. The developer worked closely with neighbors and the local government to mitigate concerns resulting from the site’s deficiencies.
