Document Description
The City of Grass Valley is proposing amendments to the Southern Sphere of Influence Planning and Annexation Project, which would change the boundary of the southern sphere of influence (SOI), revise land use designations through a General Plan amendment, revise the pre-zoning, and annex the southern SOI into the city.
The City has prepared a subsequent EIR (SEIR) that provides programmatic analysis of the potential environmental effects associated with future development that could result from implementation of the Southern SOI Amendment and project-level analysis of a 10-acre residential development west of State Route 49 within the SOI.
