Document Description
The project proposes a Zone Change, a Site Plan, a Tentative Tract Map, and amendments to the Brawley General Plan and Gateway Specific Plan to allow development of a mixed-use project on an approximately 66-acre site currently used for agricultural purposes. The eastern portion of the site (approximately 29 acres) would allow development of up to 408 multi-family residential units, including on-site amenities such as open space, recreation areas, and parking facilities. The western portion of the site (approximately 37 acres) would be subdivided into 11 commercial lots intended to accommodate a range of commercial uses, including retail and a hotel with approximately 100 rooms. The eastern portion of the site would consist of three (3) multi-family residential lots. Primary site access is planned from (future) Legion Road to the north. Additional circulation includes future roadway connections along the eastern and southern boundary, which would require construction adjacent to the Rockwood Canal, subject to coordination and approvals from the Imperial Irrigation District. The project requires approval of a Gateway Specific Plan Amendment, a Zone Change, a General Plan Amendment, a Site Plan, and a Tentative Tract Map.
