About Kadota Fig Farms No. 5
Today about 230 parcels line Adam Road, Barnard Street, Apricot Road and Fig Street, with a median size near 0.4 acre. A few lots have been redrawn as small later projects, including the Apricot Ranch condominiums (1994) and the Promenade Street homes of Tract 5453 (2006). The map's southeast corner, from Fig Street to Kadota Street between the freeway and Cochran, forms Planning Units 1 and 1A of the city's 1996 Southeast Kadota Fig Specific Plan, which kept the Fig Street side at Very Low, roughly half-acre density.
