El Macero Country Club General Plan Amendment (ZF2025-003)

El Macero Country Club General Plan Amendment (ZF2025-003)

The project is a request from the El Macero Country Club (EMCC) to facilitate the expansion and construction of future residential uses within El Macero, an established community in unincorporated Yolo County, on a portion of Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 068-130-010. The property (golf course) is approximately 170 acres and currently designated as Parks and Recreation (PR) within the Yolo County 2030 Countywide General Plan (General Plan) and zoned as Parks and Recreation (P-R). EMCC is seeking to create three new residential parcels from areas of the existing golf course property totaling approximately 0.97 acres. The project included requests for a: General Plan Amendment (GPA) to change the land use of a portion of the 170-acre El Macero golf course parcel from PR to Residential Low (RL); adoption of an Ordinance to change the zoning from P-R to Low Density Residential/Planned Development No. 66 (R-L/PD-66); a Tentative Parcel Map (No. 5267) to create three new parcels; and a Variance request to allow a reduced front yard setback. The remaining approximately 169 acres of the golf course parcel would retain its existing PR General Plan land use designation and P-R zoning. Respectively, the three new parcels would be redesignated to RL and rezoned to R-L/PD-66, consisting of approximately 12,927 square feet (Lot 1), 15,412 square feet (Lot 2), and 13,741 square feet (Lot 3). The Project does not include construction of residences at this time; however, future residential development would be consistent with the applicable development standards, as allowed under the R-L/PD-66 zoning regulations. Additionally, the request for a variance will allow future residential development on the three proposed parcels to match the building envelope of adjacent lots. The project site is located within the City of Davis sphere of influence, approximately 0.6 miles south of I-80. The three proposed parcels are surrounded by recreational use (golf course), single-family residences, and roadways. The El Macero Country Club is a private, member-owned club which features an 18-hole golf course with residential development surrounding the approximately 170-acre course. Lot 1 will be located in the southwest portion of the golf course parcel with access from Clubhouse Drive, while Lots 2 and 3 will be located in the northeastern portion of the golf course parcel with access from Country Club Drive. The three new parcels will connect to the El Macero County Service Area (CSA) which contracts with the City of Davis for water and sewer services. Water and wastewater service for Lots 2 and 3 would be extended from the fronting roadways, whereas Lot 1 would require an approximately 169-foot extension of an existing sewer main from the intersection of El Macero Drive and Clubhouse Drive. Lot 2 also includes a 15-foot access easement to be reserved by EMCC, adjacent to the existing golf course pond for maintenance purposes.
