Document Description
As proposed by Rancho Mission Viejo in its application to the County, the project would result in the development, over approximately 30 years, of up to 14,000 dwelling units, 130 acres of urban activity center uses, 258 acres of business park uses, 39 acres of neighborhood retail uses, up to four golf courses, a proposed 1,079-acre regional park, and an approximately 13,161 acres open space area (a 420 acre portion of which would inlcude up to 100 home sites, a private golf course with a limited number of associated attached dwelling units, and equestrian facilities). Ranching activities would also be retained within a portion of the proposed open space area. Infrastructure would be constructed to support all of these uses, including road improvements, utility improvements and schools. The number and locations of schools will be further refined during the entitlement and environmental review processes. Existing agriculture uses may also be expanded as a result of implementation of the Project.
