In addition to residential housing, the Cotino community has Specific Plan approval for a mixed-use district which is expected to feature a vibrant range of shopping, dining and entertainment and a hotel.

Per the Specific Plan approval for the development, the Cotino community is also expected to surround an approximately 24-acre grand oasis featuring clear turquoise waters with Crystal Lagoons® technology, enabling crystalline lagoons of any size to be built sustainably, with low water consumption and using a minimum amount of energy.

A voluntary club membership will offer access to a waterfront clubhouse, a club-only beach area and recreational water activities, as well as Disney programming, entertainment and activities. A professionally managed beach park with recreational water activities will be accessible to the public through the purchase of a day pass.
