Title

El Macero Country Club General Plan Amendment

Description

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 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 requires the following discretionary approvals: • General Plan Amendment (GPA) to redesignate approximately 0.97 acres of the golf course property from PR to Residential Low (RL); • Rezone from P-R to Low Density Residential with Planned Development No. 66 (R-L/PD-66); • Approval of a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) to create three residential parcels from a portion of the existing golf course parcel; and • A Variance to allow a reduced front yard setback from 35 feet to 30 feet for proposed Lots 2 and 3. 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 Lot 2 and 3 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. Any future development of the project site, including homesite development, will be required to meet the development standards set forth in Article 5 of Title 8, Chapter 2 of the Yolo County Code, and Planned Development No. 66 (Ordinance 1446).
