Kodiak Mountain

Kodiak Mountain covers 350.6 acres in one unbroken piece and holds 426 addresses on 372 parcels, at a median lot of 0.536 acres, the second largest of the twenty-seven residential zones the city draws. The zoning layer gives 226.3 acres to Residential Estate, 22.6 acres to Planned Development and 16.3 acres to Open Space Ranchette, and the assessor land use code marks 367 parcels here residential across 261.9 acres. Twenty-seven named streets run 6.54 miles inside the boundary, thirty-one of the centerline segments recorded as private. Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified serves the whole polygon, and the attendance boundaries the city publishes place all 350.6 acres in the Bryant Ranch Elementary, Travis Ranch and Yorba Linda High areas.

The street names run in two families. Mount Shasta Way, Mount Hood Way, Mount Rainier Way and Mount Whitney Way sit alongside Ben Nevis Way, Glaramara Lane, Maiden Moor Lane and Applecross Lane, all of them in the city's own address record. What the ridge costs is written into the same record: every one of the 426 addresses is flagged high fire severity, and 171 of them carry a fuel modification requirement. The 2025 fire hazard severity layer rates 326.1 acres here Very High and a further 24.4 acres High, the state landslide zone layer covers 118.8 acres, and an Alquist-Priolo earthquake fault zone runs across 39.5 acres. Thirty and a half acres at the far edge fall inside Chino Hills State Park.

The streets are a world atlas of mountains. Kodiak Mountain Drive and Aleutia Way point at Alaska; Mount Hood Way, Mount Rainier Way, Mount Shasta Way and Mount Whitney Way take the American West; Blue Ridge Drive and Smokey Mountain Way take the Appalachians; and Elk Mountain Drive, Big Horn Mountain Way and Mount Triumph Way fill in the Rockies and the Cascades.

The ground below the names is ranch land. Camino de Bryant runs through the middle of the community and the single well recorded inside carries the Bryant Ranch lease name. John Bixby bought this end of Yorba Linda from Bernardo Yorba's widow in 1875 and called it Rancho Santa Ana, and his daughter Susanna Bixby Bryant inherited it in 1891 and worked it as a cattle ranch before turning part of it into a botanic garden. There are 426 homes on 350 acres here at a median lot above half an acre, and 30.6 acres of Chino Hills State Park fall inside the boundary.
