Document Description
The project consists of a Major Use Permit and a Certificate of Compliance for merging of lots for a 183-unit deed-restricted senior living development on an approximately 4.27-acre property. The Major Use Permit would authorize the construction of a four-story senior living development in a single main building. The proposed building is approximately 46-feet tall and each floor ranges in size from approximately 34,233 square feet to 34,762 square feet. The development will include amenities for the residents such as a library and a community kitchen primarily on the first floor. The majority of units will be distributed through the second, third, and fourth floors. The remaining portions of the project site include a parking lot, landscaping, signage, and stormwater and drainage facilities. The project will include widening of York Drive along the project frontage to accommodate a longer turn lane onto South Santa Fe. The project will result in the replacement of a bench with a shelter at a nearby North County Transit District bus stop along South Santa Fe Avenue as well as repainting of the existing crosswalk at the intersection of South Santa Fe Avenue and York Drive. The project will also include offsite sewer improvements including replacement and upsizing of sewer lines along and near portions of El Valle Opulento. The Zoning Use Regulation of the site is Rural Residential (RR). The General Plan Designation for the Site is Village Residential (VR-2) and the General Plan Regional Category for the site is Village. The project is located on an approximately 4.27-acre site near 1822-1864 York Drive within the North County Metropolitan Subregional Planning Area. The project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared for the project and circulated for public review.
