Present Land Use
Site surrently is vacant with no uses, though the proposed project surrounds the Desert Dunes Golf Course. The General Plan land use designation is Medium Density Residential (2 to 5 dwelling units per acre). The current zoning is W-2 (20,000 square foot lot minimum). the proposed zoning will be SP (Specific Plan).
Document Description
The specific plan is a master planned community of 478 acres in the Western Coachella Valley Planning Area. The project is composed of 2,250 dwelling units on 314.5 acres. In addition, the project incorporates 10.1 acres of recreation area (recreation center), 76.0 acres for regional flood control management, which will protect the subject property from the impacts of the 100-year floodplain caused by off-site watersheds to the north. The project also includes 25.0 acres south of 20th Avenue, which will include a 150-foot by 150-foot sanitary sewer lift station with the balance of this acreage to remain open space and mitigation land. The project also includes approximately 52.40 acres of transportation improvements, including 11.6 acres to be dedicated for public right-of-way. The change of zone proposes to change the current zoning classification from Controlled Development Area (W-2) to Specific Plan (SP) and develop the SP zoning ordinance. The environmental impact report has been prepared to inform decision-makers and the public of the potential significant environmental effects associated with the proposed development of residential and non-residential uses on the project site.
