Title

Almond Acres

Description

The proposed project (Tentative Subdivision Map No. TSM 2024-01) is located on a 12.46-acre site (APN 022-281-005) between Cedar Street and Orchard Lane. The project proposes to subdivide the site into three parcels and construct a total of 67 residential units. Parcel A (3.32 acres): Retains the existing mobile home park; Parcel B (0.38 acres): Proposed for a new 12-unit apartment building; Parcel C (0.41 acres): Designated for stormwater improvements. The remaining 5.31 acres would accommodate 55 single-family homes, with 3.06 acres allocated for new internal roads. An Initial Study prepared by the City determined that all potential environmental impacts would be less than significant or mitigated to a less-than-significant level, except for Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). The Initial Study concluded that the project would result in a significant and unavoidable VMT impact, thereby requiring the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) limited to that topic. Reducing the project’s VMT below the threshold of significance would require additional design strategies or mitigation measures. However, the project does not include feasible options to achieve the necessary reduction, and no uniformly applicable policies or regulations are available to offset the impact. Therefore, the VMT impact remains significant and unavoidable.
