Brann Ranch Master Planned Community Development Project

Brann Ranch Master Planned Community Development Project

Encore Liberty II, LLC (owner and applicant) has submitted a Uniform Planning Application to the City of Rio Vista for the Brann Ranch Master Planned Community Development Project (“Brann Ranch Project” or “project”). This project has been under consideration for many years. It was originally approved as part of the Marks Ranch Specific Plan, which was adopted by the City in 1990, following certification of an EIR. A development agreement was originally approved in 1993 and, in 2006, a vesting tentative subdivision map and amended development agreement were approved. These prior approvals expired in January 2024. The current proposal is for a vesting tentative subdivision map for up to 1,073 single family dwelling units and 52 multifamily dwelling units, for a total of 1,125 dwelling units; an approximately 2.4-acre mixed use area; an approximately 8.7-acre elementary school (kindergarten through sixth grade) site; a community park and smaller pocket parks; and supporting infrastructure. The proposed project is within the existing permitted density for the project site in the City’s General Plan (up to 7 dwelling units per acre for Single Family R-1 residentially-zoned land and 5 dwelling units per acre for Mixed-use/Neighborhood) and included in the City's sixth cycle Housing Element certified by the Housing and Community Development Department as contributing to the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation. The project would include a General Plan amendment, rezoning, and a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to establish the proposed land uses and development pattern of the Brann Ranch Master Planned Community.
