An “unprecedented” 27-home rental plan on Francis Avenue
noted Sep 1, 2026
Interstruct Design + Build’s Francis Park Land Use Plan proposes 27 rental units across 10 unified properties along Francis Avenue and Vine Street — 1.49 acres at roughly 18 units per acre, with 40% of the homes reserved as attainable housing for households earning 120–140% of area median income. The assembly began in 2006 with co-founder Ryan Young’s own loft-style home at 1316 Francis Ave. and grew through the former Masonic Lodge next door. It went before Orange County’s Technical Review Group on August 5, 2026, with rezoning hearings still ahead; a county planner’s verdict: “It’s unprecedented. I don’t think we’ve had a PD in the past where it jumps lots.”
