Rancho Cañada Village Project

Rancho Cañada Village Project

The Proposed Project would develop an approximately 76-acre area within the former West Course at Rancho Cañada Golf Club. The project site would be comprised of a mix of residential and recreational uses, including an approximately 25-acre, 130-unit residential neighborhood; approximately 40 acres of permanent open space; and approximately 11 acres of common areas within the 76-plus acres. The Project is proposed as a planned unit development (PUD) providing a compact, pedestrian-friendly development with a variety of housing types and recreational uses within the residential community. The elements of the design include a mix of smart growth and traditional neighborhood elements that involve the incorporation of established shopping facilities, schools, open space, and churches. The Project would also include an extension of Rio Road through a network of local neighborhood streets to allow safe ingress and egress for residents and the public through Rio Road west. Entitlements include amending the Carmel Valley Master Plan (part of the 2010 General Plan), rezoning from Public/Quasi-Public to Medium Density Residential, Vesting Tentative Standard Subdivision, and Use Permits (development in the floodplain, tree removal). The County has prepared this Second Revised Draft Environmental Impact Report in response to a July 2018 Judgment and Peremptory Writ issued by the Monterey Superior Court in litigation entitled, Carmel Valley Association, Inc., v. County of Monterey (Case No. 17CV000131). This SRDEIR represents a limited revision to the 2016 Rancho Cañada Village Subdivision project EIR certified by the Board of Supervisors to render that document compliant with the Superior Court’s ruling.
