APAC Sep 2017 Meeting Coverage – Village Life

The El Dorado Hills Village Life has a new article regarding the September 13 2017 APAC meeting, which was ride-ranging, with updates on projects that APAC had reviewed earlier in 2017, as well as new projects on the horizon

From the article:

Project reinvention
Dixon Ranch is back as Generations at Green Valley. Aidan Barry, managing general partner of The True Life Companies, which controls the 280 acres located between Malcolm Dixon and Deer Valley Roads off Green Valley, explained that since the Dixon Ranch project was denied in February 2017, it has been revised to take into account “mistakes made,” including “major issues with traffic and density.”

Dixon Ranch included 605 home lots, but the new plan proposes 439 lots of varying sizes, ranging from one-third of an acre to 3- and 4-acre lots. There are 200 units of age-restricted homes in the proposed project’s center. When the land entitlements are eventually sold to a home builder, Barry said he will find “a good fit” in a builder for the new plan’s design concepts for aging in place, including wider doors, among other things.

Also covered,  updates on the proposed Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan

The Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan includes the fate of the former 98-acre Executive Golf Course, which residents overwhelmingly voted to keep open space in a 2015 advisory vote.

“There’s been silence since June, 2016, but the plan is supposed to go back to the Planning Commission in October or November,” APAC chairman Tim White said at the meeting. “We have heard that the plan for 1,000 homes on the golf course has been reduced to 700 and that the new plan includes single family homes and condos — no apartments.”

When asked to comment, Parker Development Company’s Director of Government Relations Kirk Bone shot down the rumor. “There is no change to the proposed plan,” he said.

And, new information on:

• A 115-room Aloft Hotel, by Marriott, to be constructed between Mercedes Benz of El Dorado Hills, and the Regal Cinema
  Some suggested changes to The EDH Apartments, with details supplied by Town Center East DRC Charir Norb Witt
  The Montano de El Dorado Phase II project
  Portico At Carson Crossing
