The Lompoc City Council on Jan. 16 unanimously granted approval for minor revisions to the Burton Ranch Specific Plan, concurrently extending the development agreement for the project by 10 years.

The decision paves the way for the development of up to 476 single-family and multi-family homes, along with the establishment of a community park on the 150-acre ‘Wye’ parcel just north of Hancock College’s Lompoc Valley Center and adjacent to Highway 1.

“We are excited and grateful to have this major milestone completed with our partners at the city of Lompoc and Mission Hills CSD,” said Jon Martin of Harris Grade Partners, LP.

“There is still much work to do to ready the project for construction, but we now have a clear path forward,” Martin said. “We expect to soon be able to do our part to meet Lompoc’s clear need for new, high-quality housing opportunities.”

“This project has been a long time coming and has seen many exceptional people involved in the process,” said Derek Hansen, of The Towbes Group and Burton Ranch Lompoc owner’s representative. “It’s extremely gratifying to be at this juncture, and we are excited to continue forward with the tangible parts of the process in order to make the project a reality.”

The Burton Ranch development is poised to address the growing demand for housing in Lompoc, contributing to the city’s need for new, high-quality residential options. With unanimous approval from the City Council, the project now anticipates entering the construction phase.
