H-Land Specific Plan

H-Land Specific Plan

Heritage Development Company (Project Applicant) has requested to develop approximately 900 acres of agricultural land with portions currently outside the City limits, but within the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI). The area proposed for development (referred to as the Specific Plan Area) is located within the Northwest Urban Center, known as Heritage Grove. An NOP was previously issued on February 9, 2022, for an EIR analyzing the Heritage Grove Specific Plan, but the project was modified to include a residential tract map and site plan; therefore, the need for a hybrid EIR is proposed. This NOP is being issued to provide the public with notice that a hybrid EIR is being prepared for the proposed project. The proposed project would divide the Specific Plan Area into 38 PAs with residential, mixed-use, and neighborhood commercial development, along with parks and public facilities. The full build-out of the Specific Plan Area would construct approximately 5,851 residential dwelling units (DUs), one elementary school with approximately 750 students, approximately 864,090 square feet of retail, approximately 584,650 square feet of commercial/office space, one 150-room hotel, several parks with sport amenities, and public/quasi-public uses. The proposed project would be analyzed as a hybrid EIR that covers both potential programmatic and project-level impacts. The programmatic-level impacts would analyze the development of 2,323 residential DUs, 534,650 square feet of retail space, 564,090 square feet of commercial/office space, 150-room hotel, an elementary school, and 18.27 acres of parks and public/quasi-public uses. The project-level impacts would analyze the development of 3,528 residential DUs, 23.61 acres of parks and public/quasi-public uses, and the development of PA 31a, which includes 300,000 square feet of retail space and 50,000 square feet of commercial/office space. The proposed project would generally be developed in three phases, although construction on individual PAs would begin when allowed by market conditions. In addition, development of the proposed project would include infrastructure improvements including roadways and utilities, to the extent that they are known. Additional details for all proposed project components, including the location of land uses within the Specific Plan Area would be developed and refined as part of the preparation of the Specific Plan, during review of the Specific Plan application, and during the evaluation process that will occur simultaneously with the preparation of the EIR. The proposed project would include the following discretionary actions and approvals to support the future construction of a mixed-use urban development in the Specific Plan Area: • Specific Plan • General Plan Amendment • Annexation • Pre-zoning • Tentative Tract Map • Planned Development Permit • Site Plan Review • Residential Site Plan Review
