Saratoga Retail Fast Food And Town Center Apartments Projects Back At Planning Commission Jan 11, 2018

The January 11 2018 meeting of the El Dorado County Planning Commission will feature the return of two El Dorado Hills Projects as separate hearings for Planning Commission approval.

The Planning Commissioners will consider Findings for denial for the Saratoga Retail project DR08-0003-R, that was conceptually denied by the Planning Commission on December 14, 2017. Commissioners will be voting to accept the Findings for Denial as presented by County Planning Staff. This project is a Design Review Revision, seeking to alter the original 2008 approved plan, by reducing over-all building square footage, and splitting the previously approved two buildings (buildings 2 and 3) into 3 buildings (buildings 2A, 2B, and 3 ) and adding two drive through fast food restaurants.

For the second El Dorado Hills project, the the Planning Commissioners will conduct a hearing to consider the El Dorado Hills Apartments project at Town Center East: A16-0001, Z16-0004, SP86-0002-R-3, PD94-0004-R-3. This project was continued from the December 14 2017 meeting at the request of the project applicant, the EDH APAC, and area residents, to allow additional time to fully review the project Final Environment Impact Report. This project is seeking approval to construct a 214 unit apartment complex, comprised of two 4-story apartment buildings, and a 5-story parking garage at the corner or Town Center Blvd and Vine Street.

The project needs to be granted four entitlements:

  1. General Plan Amendment adding a new Policy (Policy 2.2.6.6) under Objective 2.2.6 (Site Specific Policy Section) to increase the maximum residential density allowed in the General Plan from 24 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 47 dwelling units per acre specifically for the 4.565-acre project site within the TCE Planned Development area identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 121-290-60, 61, and 62.
  2. El Dorado Hills Specific Plan Amendment incorporating multi-family residential use, density, and related standards for the project site. The project site would be designated as “Urban Infill Residential” within the Village T area of the EDHSP Plan.
  3. Rezoning of the project site from General Commercial-Planned Development (CG-PD) to Multi-Family Residential-Planned Development (RM-PD) and revisions to the RM-zone district development standards applicable to the proposed 214-unit apartment project
  4. Revision to the approved Town Center East Development Plan incorporating multi-family residential use, density, and related design and development standards for the proposed 214-unit apartment project within Planning Area 2 of the TCE Plan area.
