Document Description
On November 29, 2022, the original Esperanza Village project was approved and associated MND adopted (NOD filed and CDFW fee paid December 1, 2022). A reduced size modified project was approved August 20,2024; an MND addendum documents that impacts would be the same or less than those evaluated in the adopted MND. The modified project would demolish the existing buildings on the development site and would construct two 3-story residential buildings, and one 2-story 46,000-square foot non-residential mixed-use building with communityserving uses (previously up to 76,000 square feet of non-residential uses were proposed in two buildings). The residential buildings would provide 202 affordable housing units (previously 340 units were proposed) for low- and extremely lowincome families and seniors. The non-residential mixed-use building would include County services, a vocational center, medical clinics, and a senior health center. The proposed development would be located on 8.06 acres of the larger 13.66-acre Maclaren Hall property. Off-site improvements include water improvements on Durfee Avenue, undergrounding of overhead utility lines on Gilman Road, enhanced pedestrian crosswalk on Gilman Road at Twin Lakes Elementary School, potential traffic calming measures, and a potential trail/path along the southern end of Twin Lakes Elementary School.
Entitlements associated with the modified project consisted of: 1) Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) No. 06-22 to amend the development standards and design guidelines for the project site; 2) Revisions to Design Review (DR) Nos. 06-22 and 08-22 for the construction of the two residential buildings and mixed use building; 3) Tentative Tract Map (TTM) No. 83843 to consolidate two parcels (six lots) and create six (6) new parcels.
