Environmental Assessment No. EA -1154, amendment to Specific Plan No. SP
16-01, amended and restated conditions of approval and a Second Amendment
to Development Agreement No. DA 16-01, amending the requirement that the
developer provide six affordable units for low, very low and extremely low
qualified households within the residential development to increase the number
of affordable units to eight and to allow the eight units to be purchased by
qualified moderate income households.
An Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the development
project was certified by the City Council on September 28, 2016. The requested
revision to the affordable housing requirement does not introduce new significant
environmental effects or substantially increase the severity of the environmental
impacts that previously were identified and analyzed in the certified EIR
Addendum. Additionally, the project does not include changed circumstances or
new information, which were not known at the time the EIR was certified, that
would require the preparation of a subsequent environmental analysis pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines.
(Applicant: DR Horton CA2, Inc.).
(Fiscal Impact: As part of the proposed amendment, the developer has agreed to
provide the City an additional $100,000 for the City's costs of administering the
program for two additional units.)
