Overview
About Oliva
Oliva covers 19.74 acres and the city's address layer records 41 addresses inside it on two named streets, Paseo Candela and Via Angelica. All 0.43 miles of street inside the boundary appear on the city's Private Roads layer, so the association maintains them rather than the city. The whole boundary is zoned Hillside Residential District, 19.7 acres of it, and the General Plan carries the same ground as Low Density. It is among the newest housing on the city's register: the city's parcel layer dates 40 parcels inside the boundary between 2015 and 2017.
Four interior points were tested against the Capistrano Unified locator and all four returned the same three campuses. Kinoshita Elementary takes TK through fifth grade with 302 students at a 22 to 1 ratio and feeds Marco Forster Middle, which enrolls 930, and San Juan Hills High School enrolls 2,641 and graduated 96.2 percent of its class. The Fire Hazard Severity Zone layer places all 19.7 acres of the boundary in the High class, which carries its own construction and vegetation clearance requirements.

How Oliva was built
Oliva is Spanish for olive, and the neighborhood is a run of forty-one houses on Paseo Candela and Via Angelica, built between 2015 and 2017 by The New Home Company. Both of those streets are private road for their whole length, and the city zones the nineteen and a half acres under them Hillside Residential District.
The New Home Company did not build it alone. Oliva was held through a joint venture, TNHC San Juan LLC, in which the company took a twenty percent capital interest in forty planned homes and delivered the first two in 2015. In January 2016 it bought out its partner's remaining membership interest, and the rest of the houses went up as a wholly owned project.
