DRAFT REFINED PREFERRED PLAN
11
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan Composed of a Land Use Map and accompanying general policy concepts Provides the framework upon which the Draft General Plan will be based, and broadly defines what the EIR will analyze as the Proposed Project Continued refinement of maps and policy concepts will occur as the Draft General Plan is written Draft Refined Preferred Plan
12
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan Preferred Plan Map and Key Strategies
13
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan May proceed at any time General Plan to include strong incentives and removal of constraints to promote infill Infill Downtown and on Key Corridors
14
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan Buildout priority Spring Lake Specific Plan
15
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan No infrastructure requirements (e.g. flood solution) before plan development may proceed Residential building may proceed once the SLSP has reached 80% buildout or 3 years has passed Planning can start at any time, including processing an application for SP-1A concurrently with General Plan Update SP-1 Area / MPRA
16
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan Development requires a SP, which may not be processed until a comprehensive flood solution (Cache Creek and Yolo Bypass west levees) has been designed, engineered, funded and construction approvals granted New sprayfields for PCP plant must also be identified SP-2 Area
17
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan Development consistent with underlying designations may proceed at any time, provided it is consistent with locally preferred flood solution Residential development requires a SP, which may not be processed until the Cache Creek Flood Control Project has been designed, engineered, funded and construction approvals granted. SP-3 Area
18
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan Promote improvements Emphasis on creating visually compelling “entryways” Research/tech park anchored South Gateway Flood will be a constraint for North Gateway Development in South Gateway is encouraged at any time (with comprehensive infrastructure planning) Gateways
19
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan Development encouraged at any time General Plan will include information on what properties are most likely to develop without a flood solution in place and provide tools to promote this Industrial Area
20
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan Annexation and tax sharing agreements negotiated with Yolo County for currently unincorporated areas Development Agreements established with the City to accompany any new Specific Plan or master plan – e.g. the Woodland Commerce Center in the industrial area Preparation of a Corridor Plan or significant update to the East Street Specific Plan (and accompanying subsequent General Plan Amendment) if the rail line along East Street were to be relocated Other Growth-Related Policies/Requirements
21
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan Residential growth: Approximately 7,000 dwelling units – Midpoint of the range analyzed in Development Scenarios Analysis – Roughly 1.4% annually Job growth: to maintain desired jobs/housing balance – Should be even with or slightly higher than housing unit growth – Roughly 1.5-1.6% annually Target Growth in Planning Period
22
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan The General Plan land use plan should – and does, as presented – accommodate a flood solution being in place during the GP planning horizon (2035). However, the General Plan should also be flexible enough so as to accommodate expected/desired growth under a scenario where there may not be a flood solution within this planning horizon. – Economic development should not be dependent on a flood solution. – The EIR would not analyze new residential growth in areas subject to flooding. Implications of Flood Issue
23
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE | Preferred Plan State law (SB 5) significantly restricts the city from advancing any proposed residential development for areas within the flood zone, absent finding of “significant” progress in addressing the flood risk, consistent with the policy language proposed for SP-2 and SP-3. Implications of Flood Issue
24
