Rendering of the proposed “The Commons Lane” renovations proposed by Caruso
In May, Caruso Affiliated submitted its “The Commons Lane” plan to the City of Calabasas to make enhancements to the 25 year old The Commons at Calabasas.
According to information on The Commons Lane website at thecommonslane.com, most of The Commons will remain the same. The plan “will enhance a small portion of the west side of the center” and includes new shops and restaurants with ample space for outdoor dining. The new area will also include pedestrian walking areas and new apartment homes.
The proposal includes up to 119 residential units. Most of the units will replace the Regency movie theater at The Commons. Ten percent of the units will be reserved for residents who meet certain income requirements.
The plan also includes hundreds of new parking spaces and separates residential parking from the surface parking area used by the community.
Timing at this point is to be determined and is contingent on review by the City of Calabasas.
