The 1998 HVSP FEIR <br />concluded that the proposed project would not divide an established community. <br />The physical division of an established community refers to the construction of a linear feature, such <br />as an interstate highway or railroad tracks, or removal of a means of access that would impact <br />mobility within an existing community. The implementation of the proposed project would convert a <br />portion of the mostly undeveloped 112-acre Spotorno Ranch property consisting of agricultural use <br />and open space to include 22 home sites on approximately 31 acres within the Spotorno Flat Area <br />portion of project site. Approximately 81 acres would be dedicated as permanent agricultural open <br />space and designated/zoned A/OS. <br />Existing residents within the HVSP who utilize roadways near the project site would not lose the <br />ability to access Happy Valley Road or other area roadways, and mobility would not be affected by <br />the project buildout. Additionally, the proposed project would include the construction of new <br />roadways, sidewalks, and trails that would add new means of access to improve mobility within the <br />existing communities adjacent to the project site. Therefore, the proposed project would not result <br />in any peculiar effects and would not result in new or more severe impacts related to division of an <br />established community beyond what was previously analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR.
