Document Description
The project site was part of the Lake Forest Opportunities Study Area (OSA), which changed the land use designations of several properties to allow for residential development. Among them, the project site was redesignated from Business Park and Commercial to Low and Medium-Density Residential, Mixed Use and Open Space uses (General Plan 2008-02b and Zone Change 2008-02). A PEIR analyzing the impacts of the OSA was certified in June 2008 for Site #2.
The Portola Center project consists of an Area Plan (AP 2008-01) and Tentative Tract Maps (TTMs) 17300 and 15353 for a residential and mixed-use development on an approximately 195 acre site within the City of Lake Forest, Orange County, Ca. The project will include a variety of housing types, including a mixed-use area with a small neighborhood commercial component, as well as parks, a public trail, and open space. The Portola Center Area Plan would provide a comprehensive set of guidelines, regulations, and implementation plans that would guide development of the project site. The Area Plan is designed to serve as a "blueprint" for development of the project area by establishing the distribution of land use and the criteria for development of each land use district. TTM 17300 (north of Glenn Ranch Road) proposes two single family residential neighborhoods (east and west of Saddleback Ranch Road). TTM 15353 (south of Glenn Ranch Road) proposed various single and multi-family neighborhoods, as well as a mixed use (commercial/residential) neighborhood. The project also proposes a 6.3 acre (5.0 usable) Community Park, 1.5 mile perimeter trail and three neighborhood parks, for a total of 10.8 acres of parkland.
A SEIR, tiering off of the Lake Forest Opportunities Study Area Program EIR, was prepared for this project.
