Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan Project-Notice of Availability of a Third Partial Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report
The County of El Dorado Planning and Building Department – Planning Division, as the Lead Agency, has prepared a Third Partial Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report (RDEIR) for the proposed specific plan identified as Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan (CEDHSP). The Third RDEIR has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code [PRC] Sections 21000 et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR] Sections 15000 et seq.). The CEDHSP DEIR (State Clearinghouse #2013022044) has been partially revised to address adoption of the statewide 2045 GHG reduction goal per Assembly Bill 1279, release of the California Air Resources Board’s 2022 Scoping Plan, and project-level implications of California Association of Restaurants vs. City of Berkeley. Therefore, the changes to the DEIR contained in this Third RDEIR are focused on updating the Air Quality and GHG sections, remodeling emissions (using an updated version of CalEEMOD), and 2022 Scoping Plan consistency analysis. There are no changes to the CEDHSP project itself.
The remainder of the DEIR previously released for public review is not a part of this recirculation.
