This parking lot at 1 Baxter Way in Thousand Oaks would be removed as part of a proposed 264-unit apartment complex. A recently released draft Environmental Impact Report has found that the project would have no significant impacts.

An environmental report has found that a proposed apartment complex of 264 units in Thousand Oaks would have minimal, unavoidable impact.

Kennedy Wilson, the developer, plans to build the Gateway at the Oaks on a 43-acre parcel at 1 Baxter Way. It is located near the intersections of Thousand Oaks boulevards and Westlake boulevards. Westlake High School is also nearby.

Kennedy Wilson proposes that the apartments be built in four multi-story buildings. Thirty-four apartments would be affordable; 18 units would be very poor and 16 would have very low incomes.

“More housing is required in Thousand Oaks,” Dave Eadie (Kenned Wilson’s senior vice-president for entitlement and development), said Friday.

The city released a draft environmental impact report prepared by ESA. It found that there would be no significant, unavoidable effects in 17 areas that were evaluated. The California Environmental Quality Act requires that the study be completed.
