Village Farms Davis Project

Village Farms Davis Project

The Proposed Project would consist of a mixed-use development community, including a total of 1,800 dwelling units, comprised of both affordable and market-rate single- and multi-family residences across various residential neighborhoods. In addition, the Proposed Project would include neighborhood services; public, semi-public, and educational uses; associated on-site roadway improvements; utility improvements; parks, open space, and greenbelts; and off-site improvements. The Draft EIR also evaluates an equal-weight alternative, known as the Biological Resources Preservation Alternative (BRPA). The BRPA would consist of a mixed-use development community on the same 497.6-acre project site. Similar to the Proposed Project, the BRPA would include a total of 1,800 dwelling units, comprised of both affordable and market-rate single- and multi-family residences across various residential neighborhoods. However, the BRPA would preserve a 47.1-acre Natural Habitat Area comprised of the Alkali Prairie Yolo Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan (HCP/NCCP) land cover that occurs south of Channel A. In addition, similar to the Proposed Project, the BRPA would include the development of neighborhood services; public, semi-public, and educational uses; associated on-site roadway improvements; utility improvements; parks, open space, and greenbelts; and off-site improvements. Implementation of the Proposed Project/BRPA would require the following entitlements from the City of Davis: 1. Certification of the EIR and adoption of the Mitigation Monitoring Plan. 2. SOI Amendment. Because the 114.88-acre portion of the Proposed Project/BRPA is outside the City’s SOI, the Proposed Project/BRPA would require an SOI Amendment to include that portion of APN 042-110-029 within the City’s SOI. 3. Annexation. The Proposed Project/BRPA would require the annexation of the 497.6-acre project site into the City of Davis. 4. General Plan Amendment. The Proposed Project/BRPA would require a General Plan Amendment to redesignate the 497.6-acre project site from Yolo County General Plan land use designations of S-P (382.72 acres) and Agricultural (114.88 acres) to the following City of Davis land use designations: • Residential Low Density (RLD); Residential Medium Density (RMD); Residential Medium High Density (RMHD); Residential High Density (RHD); Public/Semi Public (P/SP); Neighborhood Mixed-Use (NMU); Parks/Recreation (P/R); Neighborhood Greenbelt (NG); and UATA. 5. Pre-zoning. The Proposed Project/BRPA would require Pre-zoning of the site from the Yolo County zoning designations of S-P (382.72 acres) and A-N (114.88 acres) to the City of Davis zoning of Planned Development (P-D). 6. Development Agreement. The Proposed Project/BRPA would also require the following approvals from Yolo LAFCo as part of the requested SOI Amendment and Annexation: 1. Combined Municipal Service Review (MSR) and SOI Amendment in order to bring the 114.88-acre portion of APN 042-110-029 within the City of Davis SOI (Government Code Section 56428). 2. Annexation of the entire 497.6-acre project site into the City of Davis (Government Code Section 56737).
