Centennial Specific Plan Project

Centennial Specific Plan Project

The Project involves the development of a master planned community with 19,333 residential units. Other land uses include approximately 7,363,818 square feet (sf) of Business Park uses (office, research and development, and warehousing or light manufacturing uses) on approximately 597 gross acres; and approximately 1,034,550 sf of Commercial uses on approximately 102 acres. Proposed Institutional/Civic land uses (such as schools for higher education, medical facilities, library, and other civic uses) encompass approximately 1,568,160 sf on approximately 110 acres. The Project includes approximately 130,680 sf of Recreation/Entertainment uses (clubhouse, farmers market, childcare facilities, health clubs) on approximately 75 acres. Proposed sites for major Utility facilities that would serve the entire community (e.g., wastewater reclamation facilities, water treatment facility, water bank, materials recovery facility) encompass approximately 191 acres, and Kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12 schools would be located on approximately 145 acres). Approximately 5,624 acres (approximately 45.6 percent) of the 12,323-acre Project site are proposed for Open Space for natural resource protection and greenways, and parks for active and passive recreational use. The Project also includes a vehicular and a non vehicular circulation system. The Project includes an integrated network of roadways walking and biking trails to reduce automobile use and facilitate safe and efficient travel. An extensive network of sidewalks, greenway trails (approximately 13 miles), and community trails (approximately 60 miles) would link residential, schools, shopping, and employment areas. Additionally, the Project would add local microgrid electrical distribution systems as a permitted land use to serve the Specific Plan Area with renewable energy generated on-site in support of the Project’s “Net Zero” GHG program. The Project also proposes to dedicate a majority of the Cement Road Realignment as a public road to improve fire resiliency. The addition of local microgrid electrical distribution systems as a permitted land use would revise Specific Plan Table 2-16 to add “Renewable Energy Microgrids” as a new land use type within the “Accessory Uses and Structures” category of use types, and would designate the use as “P” (i.e., Permitted) within the Specific Plan’s Very Low Density Residential (VRDR), Low Density Residential (LDR), Medium Density Residential (MDR), High Density Residential (HDR), Very High Density Residential (VHDR), Mixed Use (MU), Commercial (C), Business Park (BP), School, Recreation/Entertainment (RE), Utility (U), and Institutional/Civic (I/C) land use designations, and would designated the use as “M” (i.e., Permitted with Ministerial Review) within the Specific Plan’s Park land use designation. The addition of this new permitted land use does not propose a specific microgrid electrical distribution system project; new microgrid electrical distribution systems would be specifically regulated by the Specific Plan but individual projects may or may not be proposed and developed.
