Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Request to consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation to deny the Heritage at Carson Creek Project (Specific Plan Amendment SP-R20-0001/Tentative Subdivision Map TM20-0001/Development Agreement DA20-0001) in the El Dorado Hills area, submitted by Lennar Homes of California. At its June 10, 2021 public hearing, the Planning Commission voted to recommend that the Board of Supervisors deny the project. Following deliberation, Commissioner Ross made a motion, with a second from Commissioner Williams, to recommend denial of the project to the Board of Supervisors, noting reasons for denial as follows: 1) Incompatible zoning uses (Residential lots adjacent to Industrial lots/ buffers); 2) Concerns about the types of housing developments that our County should be promoting (work force housing); 3) Concerns about a connection road to Sacramento County area (Empire Ranch); and 4) Subdivision driveway lengths of only 18 feet (setbacks). The motion passed 3-2. Staff's analysis relative to the Planning Commission’s reasons for recommending denial are summarized in a separate staff memorandum included as an Attachment to this Legistar item. The Legistar number for the June 10, 2021 Planning Commission hearing is 21-0916.
