- . E hi;bit 3 EXHIBIT G, c. PUD-25,Lund Ranch II Draft EIR Scoping Session Public scoping session for the Draft Environmental Impact Report(EIR)for PUD-25,the application of Greenbriar Homes for MD rezoning and development plan approval to allow the construction of I50 single-family detached homes on the approximately 195-acre Lund Ranch Il property located at 1500 Lund Ranch Road.The purpose of this public meeting is to gather public comment pertaining to the scope and content of the LIR only for this proposal. The actual proposed project would be considered by the Planning Commission at a later date. Mr. Iserson presented the staff report,and summarized the history and scope of this project.The original application submitted included 113 single-family homes,and staff determined that an Environmental Impact Report was necessary for the project. When the City Council approved the EIR consultant contract,the Council directed that an alternative plan be developed which would include more affordable housing and could include an increased number of lots. Greenbriar responded with the 150-lot plan with 16 BMR units.The EIR would be geared toward the larger plan,but would explain the environmental differences between the two. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Arkin,the 113-unit project would have some affordable housing proposed,but it would be a fairly small percentage.No affordable housing plans had been submitted for either alternative. • Mr. Iserson stressed that there would be no decisions made by the Planning Commission tonight,nor would there be any significant discussion of the project per se. The purpose of the meeting was for the Planning Commission and the public to provide input into the Draft EIR so that the consultant may have direction with respect to area of study.He noted that there were many rolling hills,swales,and watercourses,which carried their own environmental issues in terms of biology,vegetation,and wildlife.The project is located next to several existing residential developments,which may create potential impacts such as traffic,views,and visibility. Mr. Iserson advised that the property was identified in the General Plan as 58 acres of Low-Density Residential. 123 acres of Rural Density Residential,and 13.5 acres of Public Health& Safety. The environmental issues identified by staff include: I. Conformity with the General Plan: 2. Density; 3. Development areas; 4. Impacts on surrounding areas,such as traffic,views,vegetation(including heritage trees); 5. Geologic and geotechnic issues,such as grading,seismic concerns.and landslides; PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 24,2003 EXCERPTS
