Project Title: Northwest Specific Plan – July 18, 2006

The Draft Northwest Specific Plan (NWSP) is available for public review. This Plan provides the vision for creating a balanced community composed of public facilities, open space, and residential neighborhoods within an overall 354-acre planning area. The Plan provides guidance for the development of up to 830 single and multiple-family residential units emphasizing affordable housing opportunities, accommodation of important public facilities, and preservation of open space amenities. The Plan integrates open space, public trails, and wildlife habitat enhancement amenities with the development of a community park, a house of worship, an educational use facility, and five residential neighborhoods with densities ranging from 1.5 units per acre, to just over 40 units per acre. Overall, the Plan furthers a wide range of General Plan policies, including preserving at least 75% of the site area for public amenities and open space uses. As directed by Government Code §65352, this document is being sent to you. This Notice of Availability of this document also has been sent to all known interested parties and commission members.
