Agenda, item 5.1

The commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the Summer Villas Special Planning Area (PLNG23-007). The proposal would change the General Plan land use on the 115.9-acre site from Rural Residential to Low Density Residential and Open Space.

The changes would also update several General Plan figures and tables, including adding 499 dwelling units and 1,542 people to the city's development capacity totals. The site would be removed from the Rural Area Community Plan, and the zoning would change from Agricultural Residential 2 acre minimum to Special Planning Area.

Staff recommend the commission adopt a resolution recommending the City Council deny all of the requested changes. The recommendation cites an exemption from environmental review under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15270, which covers projects that are disapproved. The draft denial resolution is Attachment 1.
