Present Land Use
The majority of the project site is undeveloped and consists of agricultural land; one agricultural structure is located in the southern portion of the site. The project site is bisected by a private access road which proceeds north-to-south before pivoting to proceed in an east-to-west direction. A City of Davis drainage course (Channel A) and a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. easement also occur on-site. Yolo County designates the site as Specific Plan (SP) and Agriculture and the site is zoned SP and Agricultural-Intensive.
Document Description
The Proposed Project would consist of a mixed-use development community, including a total of 1,800 dwelling units, comprised of both affordable and market-rate single- and multi-family residences across various residential neighborhoods. In addition, the Proposed Project would include neighborhood services; public, semi-public, and educational uses; associated on-site roadway improvements; utility improvements; parks, open space, and greenbelts; and off-site improvements.
The Draft EIR also evaluates an equal-weight alternative, known as the Biological Resources Preservation Alternative (BRPA). The BRPA would consist of a mixed-use development community on the same 497.6-acre project site. Similar to the Proposed Project, the BRPA would include a total of 1,800 dwelling units, comprised of both affordable and market-rate single- and multi-family residences across various residential neighborhoods. However, the BRPA would preserve a 47.1-acre Natural Habitat Area comprised of the Alkali Prairie Yolo Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan (HCP/NCCP) land cover that occurs south of Channel A. In addition, similar to the Proposed Project, the BRPA would include the development of neighborhood services; public, semi-public, and educational uses; associated on-site roadway improvements; utility improvements; parks, open space, and greenbelts; and off-site improvements. The proposed project/BRPA would require the following entitlements from the City or Yolo LAFCo as appropriate: Sphere of Influence (SOI) Amendment, Annexation, General Plan Amendment, Pre-zoning, and Development Agreement.
