About the Project
The Woody Project is a proposed residential community consisting of 175 single-family homes located in unincorporated San Joaquin County. The site is located on the south side of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, 1/3 mile east of Mariposa Road, in an area planned for and already experiencing residential growth and investment.
The project is designed to help address the ongoing demand for housing while complementing surrounding development. Its location adjacent to a recently approved projects allows for coordinated planning, infrastructure improvements, and a more cohesive neighborhood pattern over time.
The approval of the nearby Murray Ranch Project anticipates a future connection to the Woody property along the Woody’s southern property line. The approval of the Woody Project would clear the way for the construction of this connecting road through the Woody Project to a major, signalized intersection at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard. This new road will support the increased traffic generated from both the Woody and Murray Projects and divert traffic away from existing neighborhoods. The Woody Project delivers key needed planned improvements.
Construction of the Woody Project will address existing and future circulation needs, improve access, and enhance safety for residents, pedestrians, and motorists. In this way, the Woody Project not only adds housing but also helps solve a connectivity challenge in the area.
