California Health Care Facility, Ventura

In accordance with the CEQA (pub. Resources Code, Section 21000 et seq.), the CPR will be preparing an EIR to evaluate the environmental effects associated with development of a new sub-acute medical care facility that will include an approximately 1,500-bed health care facility, associated parking, and multipurpose support buildings within the existing property boundaries of the Ventura Youth Correctional Facility (VYCF). VYCF is a 96-acre campus located at 3100 Wright Road within an unincorporated portion of south Ventura County, California. In order to fulfill a 2005 mandate from the Federal Court, CPR had been tasked with the statewide construction of up to seven new correctional care facilities, which CPR estimates will provide approximately 10,000 medical and mental health patient beds. The proposed project represents one of the seven facilities to be constructed over the next three years. The proposed health care facility would consist of one- to three-story buildings including clusters, diagnostic and treatment centers, an armory, warehouse facilities, a central plant, an outdoor recreation area, a gatehouse, and parking. Access to the facility would be from Wright Road, The proposed project would include construction of a double security fence and electrified fence (e-fence) along the periphery of the property, as well as internal roadways, outdoor lighting fixtures, and a guard tower at the vehicle sally port. Additional improvements would include storm drains and the extension of water, sewer, natural gas, and electrical utilities to the new buildings. The proposed project would employ approximately 1,300 - 1,600 employees. Approximately 75 to 100 visitors are anticipaed per day. The existing VYCF would be closed, existing buidings demolished, and the existing ward population would be relocated to other youth correctional facilities within the Department of Juvenile Justice system. Construction of the project is expected to start in 2010 and would last for up to 30 months.
