North Richmond Specific Plan EIR

North Richmond Specific Plan EIR

Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment will set policies and implementation measures for the transformation of an industrial area in North Richmond into an attractive, safe, healthy, and vibrant new neighborhood with residential, commercial, light industrial, public, park, and open space uses. The 254-acre site is proposed to be developed with a variety of land uses that include 77 acres of residential uses, 11 acres of retail uses, 28 acres of light industrial uses, and 75 acres of open space/parks (including 58 acres of creekside open space along the two creeks that abut the site to the north and south, 7 acres of other open space and a 10-acre central park). About 55 acres would be taken up with roadways and other infrastructure. A total of 2,100 residential units could potentially be developed, at an average density of 27 units per acre. There is the potential for up to 110,000 square feet of retail commercial space and up to 350,000 square feet of light industrial/commercial service space under the proposed Specific Plan.
