One Charter Oak

Covina, CA

The Covina “triple clutch” involved winning a competitive auction style bid over developers and builders for the right to deposit 1.2 million non-refundable dollars into an option contract to develop a former elementary school site.  After a successful and exhaustive entitlement effort with heavy opposition, there was a complicated, concurrent four party close of escrow:  From Charter Oak Unified School District  to Sheldon the Buyer (at a cash price of $12.5 million), Sheldon closed escrow and sold the residential land to Lennar and conveyed a two acre park site to the city of Covina in exchange for paying park fees and the city’s approval of the project.

Within one year turned a 1-4 denial of project into a 4-1 approval of the same project that was 499 homes and 600,000 sq ft shopping center within one year. 

Rio Rockwell

Oceanside, CA

The city of Oceanside had a nonsensical cap of 5O0 vehicle average daily trip (ADT) per development if the proposed project used smaller private street standards versus large public street standards. Sheldon split a 78 unit SFD project, that exceeded the 500 ADT cap, into two planning areas with a 50 unit SFD plan and 54 unit townhome plan thus turning a 78 unit project into a 104 unit project.  The mediocre land residual became a great land residual and KB Homes is now constructing the community.

Elan

Huntington Beach, CA

 Knowing that the NIMBY projects opponents would attempt to torpedo the project by delaying their appeal of a planning commission approval of a 271 unit, mixed used development to the very last day, Sheldon circumvented the opponents by having his project appealed immediately after the planning commission approval by the mayor in order for the project to be heard and approved by the city council before a multi-million dollar city fee increase (12k per unit) became effective.  The plan worked and the project is constructed and full.
