E-Group PS Solar Project

E-Group PS Solar Project

The Project as a whole encompasses 477± acres, and will include two General Plan Amendments (GPA), two Rezones (REZ), a Development Code Amendment (DCA), a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), and a Development Agreement. The GPAs include 1) General Plan text and map amendments to add a new Renewable Energy land use district, and apply it to the northern 241 acres of the Project site on the Land Use Map, and 2) a General Plan map amendment to re-designate the southern 236 acres of the Project site from Rural Living (RL-5) and Single-Family Residential – Estate (RS-E) to Single-Family Residential, 1 acre minimum (RS-1). The REZs include 1) adding a new Renewable Energy district, which also requires a DCA to create development standards and permitted uses, and applying it to the northern 241 acres of the Project site on the Zoning Map, and 2) a Zoning Map amendment to re-designate the southern 236 acres of the Project site from RL-5 and RS-E to RS-1. The Conditional Use Permit is to allow the solar project to be constructed on the northern portion of the site. The Development Agreement is to address community benefit responsibilities of the applicant.
