Status of Special Development Areas |
|
 The 2020 General Plan designates four Special Development Areas (SDA’s) to be master planned and ultimately annexed to the City. Each SDA is to be master planned to better plan for, and address, infrastructure needs and community desires.
At their meeting of November 9, 2006, the Council adopted resolution #06-87 finding that the Southhill Village Master Plan generally meets or complies with the City’s SDA Application Criteria. The Council directed staff to initiate the processing of the Southhill Village application and return with a scope of work for an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and any applicable consultant agreements for Council consideration.
On November 13, 2006, the Council adopted resolution #06-88 finding that the Loma Rica Specific Plan did not generally meet or align with the City’s newly adopted SDA Application Criteria and deferred from processing the current application. However, the Council did note that if certain modifications were made to the Specific Plan, it would be acceptable to process this application and have City staff return with a scope of work for an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
Once an SDA application is released by the Council for processing, it is far from being approved in final form. The "processing" of an SDA means that it will be subject to the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and several public hearings. Each SDA, if approved, would be subject to conditions to ensure that it meets the goals of the City General Plan through either the timely installation of important infrastructure, having a "Grass Valley" architecture or design theme, or that its development proceeds at a phased or incremental pace.
Expect further notice of public meetings and updates on the SDA’s. Information on the SDA’s is available on the City’s website at www.cityofgrassvalley.com. For more information, contact the Community Development Department, at 274-4330. |
