Soaring Ranch Phase 2 Project Information

The Planning Division has received an application requesting new land use entitlements for the Soaring Ranch Phase 2 project, which was approved by the Planning Commission on February 16, 2021 (Town of Truckee Application #2019-00000178, Resolution 2020-24). The applicant is proposing a new mixed-use project on the site, which requires approval of new land use permits by the Planning Commission. A hearing date has not yet been scheduled. 

The current application proposes to construct a mixed-use commercial and residential project with 108,944 square feet of floor area in two buildings located at 10501 Soaring Way (APN 019-620-066), a 4.72-acre site within the CR (Regional Commercial) zoning district of the Joerger Ranch Specific Plan Area. 

Building D is proposed as a single-story commercial building with nine tenant spaces (retail, office and restaurant) and 23,635 square feet of commercial floor area. Building E is proposed as a four-story building with 86 multifamily residential units and 85,309 square feet of residential floor area. A total of 272 parking spaces are proposed. 

The application requests approval of the following land use entitlements:

  • Development Permit Amendment – To revise the approved Soaring Ranch Development Permit to reduce the amount of retail space and add multi-family residential units (mixed use); 
  • Planned Development Amendment – To revise the overall site plan, allowing a mixed-use development; and 
  • Zoning Clearance – To permit multifamily dwellings in a commercial/industrial project and commercial uses (retail, restaurant and office), as required by the Joerger Ranch Specific Plan amended on June 8, 2021.

Additionally, the application requests approval of a 50 percent density bonus to increase the allowed number of residential units from 57 to 86 units (including 14 affordable units deed restricted to low-income households, 17 unrestricted market-rate units, and 55 market-rate units deed restricted for rent to local workers within the TTUSD school district boundary). As part of the density bonus, three incentives/concessions are requested (to waive the private exterior space requirements for multifamily residential units, the requirement in the Joerger Ranch Specific Plan for 50 percent of the floor area in a mixed use project to be commercial, and the maximum FAR requirements as calculated pursuant to the 2040 General Plan) and one waiver of development standards (to reduce the number of required long-term bicycle parking spaces to 32 spaces).

The project site is located southeast of the Highway 267/Soaring Way/Brockway Road intersection, adjacent to the existing Soaring Ranch Phase 1 development (including the Raley’s grocery store and Mountain Hardware co-anchors and a multi-tenant commercial building along Soaring Way):
