Document Description
This is a certification of the Fanita Ranch Project as an Essential Housing Project in accordance with Ordinance No. 592, which would boost housing production and improve housing affordability in order to achieve the goals set forth in the City’s Housing Element (Sixth Cycle: 2021-2029). The Fanita Ranch Project proposes a community consisting of approximately 2,949 residential units under a preferred land use plan with school, or 3,008 units under a land use plan without school, up to 80,000 square feet of commercial uses, parks, open space, and agricultural uses. Development on the Project site would be clustered into three villages in order to designate approximately 63 percent of the site as Habitat Preserve. The natural open space outside the development areas would be dedicated to the City’s Multiple Species Conservation Program for long-term protection and management as a Habitat Preserve.
