Banning Lewis Ranch is the 21,000-acre master-planned development on the east side, covering roughly a quarter of the city's future growth footprint. After a complicated bankruptcy + ownership-transfer in the 2010s, development restarted in phases with Oakwood Homes, Creekside, and other builders delivering ~500-800 homes per year. The phased annexation + infrastructure obligations (schools, fire, water, roads) are complex and have generated ongoing city-council debates about impact fees + cost-sharing. This thread tracks every phase launch, school-opening timeline (Falcon D49 + a future D49-east site), Powers Blvd connectivity, water-allocation debates, and resident concerns about pace of growth.
