Yokohl Ranch : The Plan : Community Description

Based on its Guiding Land Use Principles, Yokohl Ranch is planned as a "turn key" community of three major areas:

Each area is surrounded by expanses of cattle grazing lands and protected open space.

Specifically, the Yokohl Ranch Master Development Plan is focused on a town center which includes mixed-use commercial and high density residential uses which will function as the social and civic activity hub of the community. A public park and private recreation facility complete the town center site which straddles Yokohl Creek in the central portion of valley area. Medium and low density neighborhoods extend out from the town center with reduced density as the topography increases. Further to the east and north, the residential density gradually decreases to very low density (less than one unit per acre). The range of residential densities will allow for a wide range of product types and life styles choices for residents.

In the The Oaks area, a site for a resort is identified within an offering of very low density residential uses. The resort concept is that of a self-contained destination resort and conference center including lodging and a full range of amenities. The proposed site of the relocated ranch headquarters is also located within an area of very low density residential uses north of The Valley. Potential additional golf courses are also designated within these residential areas; as are sites for schools, parks and other quasi-public support uses.
