Santa Maria will be getting another new apartment complex after the Planning Commission gave its approval to the conditional-use permit for the Park Edge Apartments on Santa Maria Way.
The Santa Maria Planning Commission unanimously approved the 140-unit complex Wednesday, after months of back and forth with the developers over concerns regarding parking and traffic.
The project plans call for eight buildings, accommodating the 140 units, near Maramonte Park. The complex will feature amenities, like a pool, barbecue pits and gym, and the current multipurpose trail running through the lot will continue to be open to the public. Twelve units will be designated for very-low income earners, whose wages total roughly 30-50% of the area median income.
The site plans also call for a 5,400-square-foot commercial space with room for three tenants, including a drive-thru.
