Cristallago - The Project

The “Cristallago” project site has previously been the subject of ongoing environmental, technical and planning review since the first applications were submitted for development back in 1983. This project application, named Cristallago, is the rebirth of two separate and previously approved development plans. The northern 450 acre portion of the site was formerly known as the “Las Fuentes” housing and golf course development. Las Fuentes had an approved General Plan of Development until 1989. Las Fuentes was approved for 574 single-family residences, 200 timeshare units, an 18 hole golf course, and a 100 room motel. The property’s PD zoning designation remained in place until the adoption of the North Lakeport Area Plan in 2000. The “Black Rock Ridge Golf Course”, in the southern 400 acre portion of the site, was approved in January 1997 and construction began on the course in 2000. Neither of these projects ultimately came to fruition as a result of market timing, lack of adequate financing and various other reasons. Cristallago represents the revival of two failed projects into one far more economically viable development proposal.
