Document Description
The proposed project would include the development of a mixed-use community, including a total of 1,250 dwelling units, comprised of both affordable and market-rate single- and multifamily residences across various residential neighborhoods. In addition, the proposed project would include neighborhood retail uses; a daycare facility; associated on-site roadway improvements; utility improvements; recreational uses, such as a community park, mini park, and a gym, open space, and greenbelts; and off-site roadway improvements along the project’s East Covell Boulevard frontage and its intersection with Alhambra Drive. The proposed project would also include an Urban Agricultural Transition Area (UATA) located along the northern and eastern boundaries of the site. Primary site access would be provided from East Covell Boulevard. From East Covell Boulevard, Alhambra Drive would be extended into the site from the existing intersection in a north-to-south direction. In addition, a new intersection would be constructed from East Covell Boulevard in the southeastern portion of the project site. Both entry streets would extend into the project site around the proposed community park, and would include traffic circles at the first internal intersections connecting to the modified local street and collector street. The proposed project would also include a multimodal network of bikeways and sidewalks, including six-foot-wide sidewalks along all internal streets; ten-foot-wide shared use pedestrian paths along the entry streets and modified local streets; a pedestrian path within the proposed UATA; a 14-foot-wide shared use path within the proposed North Central Greenbelt; and new pedestrian connections to the adjacent Wildhorse Agricultural Buffer. With respect to transit, the proposed project would include installation of two new transit connections located along the frontage of the project site along East Covell Boulevard, with one new transit station located at the proposed community park and one new transit stop located in the southwestern corner of the project site, closest to the affordable site. The proposed project would require discretionary approvals, including an Amendment of the City’s SOI, Annexation of the 232-acre project site into the City of Davis, a General Plan Amendment, Pre-zoning of the project site to City of Davis zoning designations, Final Planned Development to establish site development standards, Design Review, Large Lot and Small Lot Vesting Tentative Maps, an Affordable Housing Plan, and a Development Agreement.
