BIG CHANGES COULD BE COMING TO THE LOS ALAMITOS RACE COURSE
The future of one of Cypress’ largest properties is back in the spotlight.
The approximately 150-acre Los Alamitos Race Course property could eventually be transformed into a mixed-use community with up to 1,926 homes, commercial space, parks, public areas, and new infrastructure.
Cypress voters approved Measure S in 2024, but there are still major details being discussed, including traffic, housing density, park access, affordable housing, and a potential Moody Street connection to Katella Avenue.
The Cypress City Council voted 3-1 to continue the Environmental Impact Report hearing, which is scheduled to return August 25.
This does NOT mean the racetrack is closing tomorrow. City officials have said development could still be years away, and the racetrack would have to cease operations before construction could begin.
A project of this size could have a significant long-term impact on Cypress and the surrounding Northwest Orange County communities.
