Title

Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Amendment Project

Description

The proposed project approvals would facilitate the future redevelopment of the 92-acre project site, including the demolition and removal of existing oil and gas production infrastructure consistent with phaseout plans and the future construction of up to 800 residential units, up to 350 hotel rooms or other permitted visitor-serving uses, and various open space and park areas. Future buildout of the site would include new vehicular access points and internal circulation roadways, informational signage, utility and infrastructure connections, and multi-use paths. Under the proposed Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Amendment, the project site would be divided into three planning areas: Planning Area 1 (16 acres of Commercial Visitor uses), Planning Area 2 (53.2 acres of Medium Density Residential uses, which would be subdivided into Planning Areas 2A [30.8 acres] and 2B [22.4 acres]), and Planning Area 3 (22.8 acres of open space/park uses, which would be subdivided into Planning Area 3A [19.7 acres] and 3B [3.1 acres]). Project-specific design details for future residential and commercial development facilitated by approval of the proposed project are unknown at this time. Each future discretionary project facilitated by the proposed project would be subject to a project-specific CEQA review at the time it is proposed for consideration by the City. In order to streamline the process of future CEQA review, the proposed project conservatively analyzes a “worst-case” scenario of development, or the maximum allowable scale of future development allowed under applicable development standards as set forth in the Draft Amended Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan.
