Jasper Corridor Developments and Eady Sphere Expansion

The Jasper Corridor MEIR will address the environmental impacts associated with three project: Las Ventanas, Esmeralda Estates and Rancho Diamante. The Imperial County General Plan currently identifies the project area site as County Urban Area, and the zoning is County A2U. The project proposes an annexation into the City of Calexico. The project also proposes a General Plan Amendment, Sphere of Influence Amendment, Pre-Zoning, Tentative Map and Specific Plan for the City of Calexico. The Las Ventanas Specific Plan proposes to construct 1,041 residential units, 27.32 acres of community commercial, a school, parks, retention basin and roads. The proposed single family residential will range from 7,000 to 4,000-square foot lots. The Esmeralda Estates Tentative Map proposes the subdivision of approximately 80.08 acres to develop 291 single-family residential units, 2.61 acres of neighborhood park, fire station, a retention basin, roads and open areas as pedestrian linkages. The Rancho Diamante Specific Plan proposes 2,483 single-family homes, 980 4-plex models and 658 condominiums. Neighborhood commercial uses are proposed at the Bowker Road and Jasper Road intersection and at Cole Road. Rancho Diamante also proposes four school sites, 99.6 acres of community parks, and two retention basins.
