The Victorville Planning Commission will hold a public hearing Aug. 12 to review a tentative tract map for a proposed 70-home subdivision on about 20 acres at the southwest corner of Green Tree Boulevard and Sixth Street, city staff announced. The parcels lie near the Victorville post office and immediately north of the Richmond American Monarch at Sky Trail housing project that is currently under construction.
Project details and layout
The applicant requests approval of a tentative tract map that would divide four undeveloped parcels into single-family lots at a proposed density of 3.5 dwelling units per acre, with minimum lot sizes of 7,200 square feet. The subdivision plan shows five interior streets and a range of proposed street names included in the staff materials.
- Proposed total homes: 70
- Site area: approximately 20 acres
- Density: 3.5 dwelling units per acre
- Minimum lot size: 7,200 square feet
- Access: Green Tree Boulevard, Sixth Avenue and internal local streets
Among the names listed for the subdivision streets in the agenda packet are Montezuma, Messina, Morocco, Raydell, Jolly Roger, Roamer, Ivory, Rice, Ives, Janna, Izetta, Justin, Kenoma, Kachina and Keeping. The list indicates the developer envisions at least five interior streets to serve the tract.
Traffic and access concerns
Primary access to the proposed subdivision would be provided via Green Tree Boulevard, which is characterized in the staff report as a "super arterial roadway." Green Tree Boulevard has experienced an increase in traffic since the opening of the Green Tree Bridge in May 2023, a connection that links Victorville and Apple Valley. An additional access point would be Sixth Avenue, described as a collector street, with local streets internal to the tract providing further circulation.
"Access to the site will be via Green Tree Boulevard, considered a ‘super arterial roadway,’ which has seen an increase in traffic since the May 2023 opening of the Green Tree Bridge," the staff report notes.
City planners’ staff materials state that the internal and collector streets would provide what is considered sufficient vehicular access to the subdivision, though the planning commission hearing will provide the public and commissioners an opportunity to examine traffic, circulation and public-safety implications in greater detail.
Public review and timing
The required 30-day public review period for the Green Tree Boulevard project concluded on Aug. 10, after the staff report was published. At the time the agenda was posted for the Aug. 12 meeting, the city had received no comments from reviewing agencies, according to the materials.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Hearing date | Aug. 12, 5 p.m. |
| Location | Victorville City Hall, 14343 Civic Drive (and online via the city YouTube channel) |
| Adjacent project | Richmond American Monarch at Sky Trail (under construction) |
The Planning Commission meeting is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at Victorville City Hall, 14343 Civic Drive. The meeting may be watched live through the City of Victorville YouTube channel for residents who cannot attend in person.
What this means for Victorville residents
The proposal would add a relatively low-density single-family subdivision to a corridor that has already seen development activity in recent years. Because the site fronts a major arterial that experienced higher traffic volumes after the Green Tree Bridge opened in 2023, the commission’s review may focus on how the subdivision’s access points, internal circulation and proposed lot sizes align with traffic safety, emergency access and neighborhood compatibility standards.
Neighbors and other interested parties have an opportunity to comment at the public hearing. The absence of agency comments in the published agenda materials does not preclude hearings, conditions or requirements that could arise from the commission’s deliberations or from later agency review.
Residents who want to follow the project should attend the Aug. 12 meeting or view it online and monitor future Planning Commission agendas for any conditions, environmental review results or design changes that the commission may require.
