Document Description
The Project involves the development of 126.8 acres of undeveloped land into a residential subdivision of single-family homes and multi-family apartments on the Project site. The proposed subdivision would also provide 16 undeveloped lots within the 126.8 acres. These include eight lots that would comprise an open space greenway (linear park) along the primary collector road serving the development and bisecting the site from north to south, a 1.5 acre detention basin lot, and a 0.46-acre lot crossed by Santa Ana Creek in the northeast corner of the site that would remain undeveloped and would be dedicated to the City for park use. The other six undeveloped lots would consist of private streets serving the clustered residential parcels.
The Project will permanently remove 126.8 acres of California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) habitat. The Project is expected to result in incidental take of California tiger salamander, which is designated as a threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). The ITP referenced above as issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation. Minor Amendment No. 1 adds the entity, Richmond American Homes, as a Permittee on the ITP referenced above. The resulting impacts of the Project to California tiger salamander remain the same.
