Document Description
The County of Santa Cruz and the City of Watsonville are preparing a joint Specific Plan/Master Plan for the Atkinson Lane future growth area (project site). The project site falls within the City's Urban Growth Boundary. The total gross acreage of the project site is 67 acres, which includes 16 acres of land to be re-zoned by the County prior to annexation by the City to meet County's affordable housing goals. Land uses and densities for the plan would be determined as part of the Specific Plan/Master Plan process. The City of Watsonville General Plan identifies that up to 600 residential units and 90 jobs may be generated in the planning area. A Planned Unit Development as allowed by Santa Cruz County Code will be prepared that incorporates conditions of approval for the 16 acres of land to be re-zoned by the County of Santa Cruz. The proposed project would also require a General Plan Amendment and LAFCo action.
