These improvements would be constructed within a development area of about 29.1 acres of a 39.9-acre parcel identified as APN 066-061-013-0000. The remaining 10.8 acres are comprised of setbacks from each side of the subject parcel within which no development other an access road and an underground interconnection cable would be constructed.
