The project applicant proposes to develop a 918-unit residential community located on an approximately 208-acre site. The Project remains consistent with the description in the Notice of Preparation with minor revisions, including the addition of an approximately 1.8-acre neighborhood commercial area in response to requests from the community to add a small neighborhood commercial component and the removal of 8 proposed units. The project would include 115.8 acres of single-family low-density residential development, 20.8 acres of single-family medium-density residential development, 13.6 acres of parks, 44.8 acres of open space preserves and buffers, 1.8 acre of neighborhood commercial, and 11.1 acres of roadways.
DRAFT Environmental Impact Report – JUNE 2025
Public review and comment period ENDS on August 19, 2025
From the June 20, 2025 Notice of Availability:
DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY AND REVIEW PERIOD: This DEIR is available for public and agency review for a 60-day period beginning June 20, 2025, and ending August 19, 2025. The purpose of this comment period is to consider the content of the DEIR and the potential environmental impacts that may result from project implementation. Comments pertaining to the environmental impact analysis, criteria and thresholds, mitigation measures and alternatives presented in the DEIR will be considered by the County during preparation of the Final EIR. The Final EIR will include copies of the comments received during the comment period and the County’s responses to comments pertaining to the environmental review and DEIR. A subsequent scheduled public hearing will be conducted on the project upon completion of the Final EIR when the County considers action on the project. The County must certify the Final EIR prior to project approval. If you wish to be notified of that hearing date, please provide your name and mailing address to the Planning and Building Department.
REDUCED IMPACT ALTERNATIVE:
Preparation of an EIR requires the lead agency, in this case the County, to consult with local Native American Tribes (Tribes) that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project area regarding the presence of tribal cultural resources (TCRs). Through the consultation process with local Tribes, it was revealed that TCRs exist within the site and would be impacted by the project and could not be avoided. In addition, the Latrobe School District indicated during preparation of the DEIR that its existing schools could not absorb the increase in students generated by the project and requested a reduction in the number of conventional housing units. To address potential significant impacts, an EIR is required to evaluate an alternative that would avoid or lessen environmental impacts while still meeting most of the objectives of the project. In collaboration with the Tribes and Latrobe School District, a new land use plan, the Reduced Impact Alternative (RIA), was developed which avoids impacts to TCRs and reduces the total number of residential units from 918 to 763, including limiting the number of conventional housing units to a maximum of 150 with the remainder restricted to Active Adult. The RIA proposes a 7.5-acre Village Park with 1.6 acres of the park containing a Planned Development (PD) overlay designation that could allow for neighborhood commercial uses to serve the plan area, similar to the proposed project. These potential commercial uses would require approval of a separate Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development. There would be two additional Neighborhood Parks, 4.4 and 2.2 acres in size, for a total of 14.1 acres in parks and 44.4 acres in open space. Given the ability to address significant impacts to TCRs and the concerns of the Latrobe School District, it was decided that the RIA should be analyzed at a project-specific level so that the County could ultimately approve the RIA instead of the proposed project.
This DEIR therefore evaluates the land use plan that was originally submitted by the applicant as the proposed project and also analyzes the RIA at the project-specific level, either of which could be approved by the County. Based on analysis completed at this time, County staff intends to recommend the RIA for approval because it avoids impacts to TCRs, reduces additional environmental impacts, and is the land use plan preferred by both the Tribes and the Latrobe School District.
