UPDATE: PROPOSED APARTMENT COMMUNITY ON NIGUEL ROAD
On January 31, 2024 a revised preliminary application was submitted to the City of Dana Point for construction of 708 apartment units at Niguel Road and Mariner Drive, in the spot where the current Monarch Villas apartments are located now.
Proposed plans on the developer’s website show buildings 45 to 90 feet high (8 stories) with an additional rooftop amenity in the highest building. This is much higher density and several stories taller than the developer originally presented when explaining the project to our community.
The next step in the approval process is for the developer to deliver a formal entitlement application to the City by June 29, 2024, and then the City will commence an environmental review. There will be public hearings before the Dana Point Planning Commission prior to any approval. No date has been set for this, but likely to be in early to mid 2025.
To inform yourself about the proposed plans and exterior renderings, visit the developer’s website at imaginembvillas.com. If you wish to make your voice heard at the City level, contact Dana Point Community Development Director Brenda Wisneski at BWisneski@DanaPoint.org.
