The project site is located in El Dorado County, California, approximately 500 feet north of U.S. Highway 50, east of Bass Lake Road. The approximately 60.5-acre site is identified by Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 119-080-12, -021 and -023. The project site is located in the southern central portion of the Bass Lake Hills Specific Plan (BLHSP); the northern portion of the project site is located within the Community Region of the El Dorado County General Plan, and the southern portion of the site is located within the Rural Region.

The project site includes two areas: the Project Development Area and the Program Study Area.

Vehicle access to the project site would be provided by private roads connecting to Bass Lake Road to the west and to Country Club Drive to the north. In addition to on-site utility improvements, full buildout of the proposed project would require installation of off-site water, sewer, and natural gas utilities within Bass Lake Road, other nearby roads, and with respect to the sewer line, generally to the west along Old Bass Lake Road/Lincoln Highway towards Carson Creek.

The proposed project would require approval of:
A General Plan Amendment
