Cypress Point Family Community / An affordable housing project in early stages of construction, Cypress Point will provide 71 rental units targeted to existing local employees and their families.  Sixteen two-story buildings with a mix of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units, along with a community building and play/barbecue area, are clustered around a shared central outdoor space meant to foster a sense of community.  The landscape throughout has been designed to sensitively respond to the coastal setting, wildlife habitat, multiple viewsheds, and neighbor concerns.  The open space area, occupying nearly half the 11-acre site, incorporates native plantings for additional screening and new trails open to the larger community.  Scope for the project, which initiated in 2017 and has an estimated completion in 2027, included extensive community meetings and tight budgetary constraints.
