The Hop Farm property and five 'Wheatland' parcels are designated in the Wheatland General Plan Land Uses as Low Density, Low-Medium Density, and High Density Residential, Employment, Commercial, Civic Center, Park, and School. The remainder of the site is designated as Urban Reserve. The site is zoned various Yuba County Agricultural designations.
- Document Description
- The proposed project site is located east of the City of Wheatland, outside the City limits but within the Wheatland Sphere of Influence. The approximately 4,069-acre project site is largely vacant/undeveloped and consists primarily of agricultural land. Grasshopper Slough traverses the central portion of the project site in a northwesterly to southeasterly direction. In addition, Spenceville Road borders the northwestern/north-central boundary of the project site and Dry Creek borders the northeast boundary of the site. The majority of the southern boundary of the project site is made up of the Yuba County/Placer County line. State Route 65 and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks are located west of the annexation. The proposed project is primarily composed of three separate properties - the Johnston Rancho property, the Bear River Hop Farm property, and the Dave Browne property. Two of the proposed project's three requested entitlements, annexation and prezone, involve the entire 4,069-acre area composed of the Johnson Rancho, Bear River Hop Farm, Dave Browne properties, and five additional 'Wheatland' parcels. The additional 'Wheatland' parcels consist of five parcels that have been included in the proposed annexation boundaries so as to avoid the creation of county "islands." The five 'Wheatland' parcels comprise a total of 14.0 acres. The proposed project would include the development of up to approximately 14,329 residential lots, varying from Very Low Density Residential to High Density Residential. In addition, development of the project would include other land uses, such as Employment/Office, Commercial, Civic Center, Elementary and Middle Schools, Parks and Open Space, and a potential hospital.
