Bradbury Ranch Master Plan

Bradbury Ranch Master Plan

The project applicants, RBK Development and Belgravia Land and Development, have submitted an application (PD 18-001) to Merced County for the Bradbury Master Plan planned development (hereinafter referred to as the “proposed project” or “project”) for review and consideration. The Bradbury master plan boundary is within the broader Delhi Community Plan (hereinafter “community plan”) boundary. The County certified an EIR for the community plan in 2006. The current project application has been submitted to request changes to land use and development capacity within the Bradbury master plan area. Based on preliminary calculations of the anticipated amendment, the total number of dwelling units in the master plan area would increase, from 869 to 1,069, and the potential amount of non-residential development would decrease from 594,060 square feet to 136,680 square feet. No applications for individual development projects within the master plan boundary have been submitted. Future individual projects would also be subject to CEQA review. The proposed project partially re-envisions land use for the Bradbury Ranch master plan area to accommodate projected population, housing, and employment, and address infrastructure and open space public service needs (school, fire station, parks, etc.) and to be more responsive to expected market conditions.. The proposed project would revise density and intensity of residential uses for the master plan area. It would also adjust timing and phasing for installation of parks and public services to appropriately meet demand. Transportation facilities, including roads and bike paths, would be reconfigured to better serve the project and existing and planned surrounding land uses.
