DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Community Development Agency, Development Services Division, forwarding a request from The Mansour Company for a Conceptual Review of the Town Center West Residential Project.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
In accordance with Board Policy J6, this conceptual review is required prior to filing an application to amend a Specific Plan. It is intended to assist the applicant in identifying potential project issues and solutions, consider alternative designs, and receive early feedback from the Board in an informal workshop, thereby improving the quality of a future development application. No action is required for a conceptual review. This item is for discussion purposes only.
The proposal would require a change to the El Dorado Hills Specific Plan Land Use and Zoning designations to allow for the development of approximately 200 residential units on 25 acres within Town Center West under the concept of a mixed use development. The location of the change would be in the northwest portion of Town Center West, adjacent to the Rolling Hills Community Services District.
The potential residential development would be limited to approximately 200 units, with housing types ranging from the following: single family detached homes, patio homes or "zero lot line" units, attached single family homes including "halfplexes," condominiums or townhouses, and apartments.
The purpose of the change is to provide the potential for development of a residential area that buffers the existing residential neighborhood from future commercial development in Town Center West and provide flexibility for a range of housing types.
A Staff Memo dated January 4, 2017, is attached, along with the Memo's referenced Exhibits A - G.
