Planning Area 40/Spectrum 8 Subsequent EIR - Planning Areas 40/12 General Plan Amendment and Zone Change

In March of 2002, the voters, through passage of Measure W, determined that MCAS El Toro would not be developed as an international airport and instead supported the creation of the Orange County Great Park (OCGP), with supporting opportunities for transit-oriented residential, recreational and commercial development. The commitment to the OCGP Development Plan allows for the opportunity to expand residential uses further east of Jeffrey Road. The proposed project consists of a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to allow for a change in land use in Planning Area 40 and Planning Area 12. The residential uses will consist of an array of single family detached, attached, and clustered homes with medium and medium-high residential densities. The plan also provides for an elementary and middle school as well as a community park, a public neighborhood park and several private neighborhood parks. The Multi-Use land use will allow for residential, commercial, office, and institutional uses.
