- Agenda, item 5.1
The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the Summer Flats Project, a 27.6-acre development on the east side of Waterman Road, just north of Rancho Drive.
The proposal would change the site's land-use designations and rezone it, then subdivide three parcels into 120 lots for t-court homes, along with a water quality/detention basin lot, an open space lot and landscape lots.
The project also includes a text amendment to the General Plan and Eastern Elk Grove Community Plan that would increase the maximum residential buildout for the East Elk Grove Sub-Area.
Staff recommends the commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council certify the Environmental Impact Report, adopt findings of fact, a Statement of Overriding Considerations and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and approve the amendments, rezone, tentative subdivision map and subdivision design review.
