County issues NOA 107 days following scoping meeting

45 day public comment period closes on August 12, 2024

From the notice of availability –

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project is a request to amend the General Plan land use designations of the project site from Low Density Residential (LDR) and Open Space (OS), to High Density Residential (HDR), LDR, and Public Facilities (PF); a Rezone from Residential Estate, Ten-Acre (RE-10), Residential Estate, Five Acre- (RE-5), and Recreational Facilities, Low Intensity (RF-L), to Residential, Single-Unit (R1), RE-5, OS, and Recreational Facilities, High Intensity (RF-H); and a Tentative Subdivision Map to subdivide the project site into 379 residential lots, a clubhouse lot, a park site, 13 landscape lots, and nine (9) open space lots. 214 of the proposed lots would be age-restricted for residents 55 years or older. 18 of the Residential Estate (RE) zoned lots would be located generally along the northern, eastern, and southern perimeter of the site, as well as along Green Valley Road. The project includes two proposed access roadway connections to Green Valley Road (C-Drive and A-Drive). The project site is within the General Plan designated El Dorado Hills Community Region boundary. The project would require the El Dorado Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to approve annexations of the site into the service boundaries of El Dorado Hills Fire Department for fire protection services, El Dorado Hills Community Services District (CSD) for parks, recreation, and other community services, and the El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) for water and wastewater services. Additionally, the proposed project would include improvements to Green Valley Road, as well as other off-site improvements for transportation, water supply, wastewater conveyance, and utilities.

PROJECT LOCATION: The project site is located in an unincorporated area of El Dorado County, in the eastern portion of the El Dorado Hills Community Region. The project site encompasses 280.70-acres and is located on five parcels identified by Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 126-020-001, 126-020-002, 126-020-003, 126-020-004, and 126-150-023. The majority of the site is located south of Green Valley Road, with the exception of the northern tip of the site that is north of Green Valley Road (portion of APN 126-150-023). This portion is being removed from the project as part of a Boundary Line Adjustment that is being processed under a separate application to the County.

Providing Public Comments related to ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

Providing Comments: The DEIR is available for public and agency review for a 45-day period beginning June 27, 2024, and ending August 12, 2024.

PROJECT LOCATION The project site is located in an unincorporated area of El Dorado County (Figure 1). Existing land uses in the project area consist of single-family residences and rural residential areas. The project site encompasses approximately 280 acres located on five current parcels, Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 126-020-001, 126-020-002, 126-020-003, 126-020-004, and 126-150-023. The majority of the site is located south of Green Valley Road, with the exception of northern tip of the site that is north of Green Valley Road (portion of APN 126-150-023). This portion of the project is being removed as part of Boundary Line Adjustment that is being processed under a separate application to the County. The project also includes two proposed access roadway connections to Green Valley Road (C-Drive and A-Drive) that would use existing easements to access Green Valley Road.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The El Dorado County General Plan land use designations for the site are Low Density Residential (LDR), with approximately 1.4 acres designated Open Space (OS) associated with an existing Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) utility easement. Zoning on the site consists primarily of Residential Estate, Ten-Acre (RE-10), with the SMUD easement zoned as Recreational Facilities, Low Intensity (RF-L). The proposed C-Drive extension area is zoned RE-5, while the proposed A-Drive extension area is zoned RE-10. The Generations at Green Valley Project proposes to amend the General Plan land use designations to High Density Residential (HDR), Low Density Residential (LDR), and Public Facilities (PF). The project would also rezone the site to Residential, Single-unit (R1), Open Space (OS), Recreational Facilities, High Intensity (RF-H), and Residential Estate, Five-Acre (RE-5) (Figure 2). The proposed development area of the project would be within the General Plan designated El Dorado Hills Community Region boundary. The project proposes a Tentative Subdivision Map that would subdivide the project site into 379 residential lots, clubhouse lot, park site lot, thirteen landscape lots, nine (9) open space lots, and three (3) lots for project roadways. Age restrictions would apply to 214 of the residential lots in the project. Proposed residential lot sizes would range from 6,000 square feet up to 5.7 acres. Roadway access to the project would be provided through two (2) main connections with Green Valley Road and three (3) emergency access roads connecting to existing roadways along the project’s boundary. The project also anticipates constructing improvements and adding additional lanes to segments of Green Valley Road. The proposed park site would be 4.0 acres and would be proposed for dedication to the El Dorado Hills Community Services District (CSD). The design of the park site would be determined by the El Dorado Hills CSD, but may include a baseball diamond, tot lot, parking lot, and a restroom. The clubhouse site would be owned and maintained by the homeowners association (HOA) and may include community building, pool, barbeque facilities, bocci courts, and a pickle ball court. The open space would be owned and maintained by the HOA.

Proposed offsite transportation improvements

  • Optimize traffic signal coordination on El Dorado Hills Boulevard/Latrobe Road from White Rock Road to Saratoga Way (North).
  • Modify traffic signal phasing and hardware for the Silva Valley Parkway and Harvard Way intersection to provide a southbound right-turn overlap.

The project would construct improvements to Green Valley Road at the project proposed access points with C-Drive and A-Drive that would provide left- and right-turn pockets to promote safe traffic flow.

Water and utilities

With the exception of proposed onsite wastewater systems for the RE-5 lots and park site, the project would obtain water and wastewater service from El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) and would involve the following offsite water and wastewater improvements

Offsite Water Supply Improvements:

  • Connection to an existing 8-inch water distribution pipeline within Lima Way on the project’s western boundary.
  • Construction of a new water distribution pipeline from the project’s southern boundary to an existing 10-inch pipeline located in Greenview Drive.
  • Construction of a new water distribution pipeline from the project’s eastern boundary along Green Valley Road to an existing 12-inch pipeline west of Pleasant Grove Middle School. Offsite Wastewater Conveyance Improvements:
  • Connection to an existing 8-inch gravity wastewater conveyance pipeline within Lima Way on the project’s western boundary.
  • Upsizing of approximately 1,600 linear feet of existing gravity wastewater pipeline upstream of the Highland Hills Lift Station.
  • Construction of approximately 8,500-linear foot force main from the Highland Hills Lift Station to an existing 15-inch gravity wastewater pipeline that flows to the St. Andrews Lift Station.

Other utility improvements for the project would include the following:

  • Construction of eight (8) onsite detention/water quality basins
  • Improvement of existing electrical cable facilities and addition of new electrical cable along Sangiovese Drive, Appian Way (new trenching anticipated along Appian Way), and Lima Way
  • Improvements to the existing electrical facilities along eastern portion of the project site.

In addition to the General Plan Amendment, Rezone, and Tentative Subdivision Map entitlement requests, the project is also requesting that the El Dorado Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) approve the annexations of the site into the following districts:

  • El Dorado Hills Fire Department (also known at the El Dorado Hills County Water District/Fire Protection District) for fire protection services
  • El Dorado Hills CSD for parks, recreation, and other community services
  • EID for water and wastewater services.
