The Project proposes a comprehensive amendment to the original Specific Plan previously adopted in 1983 (and subsequently amended through 2008). In addition, the project proposes to annex an additional 472 acres (Almond Avenue Annexation Area). The total expansion will include an additional 1,318 acres from previous and proposed annexations, resulting in a total Project area of 3,110 acres (see below for the location of the project site)..

As part of this Specific Plan update a new land use plan would be created, as well as modifications and revisions to allowable uses, design guidelines, and development standards that govern new development within this area. Anticipated approvals for the Project include a General Plan Amendment, Prezone/Zone Change, Specific Plan Amendment, and EIR Certification. Subsequent to these actions, it is anticipated that LAFCO will take action regarding annexation of the proposed annexation area.

Two public scoping meetings are scheduled as follows:

The SWIP Team will provide a brief overview of the Project and a discussion of the anticipated environmental issues. Notices will be mailed to interested and responsible agencies, and landowners and residents about three weeks prior to the public scoping meeting. A hotline will be available for inquiries by calling the SWIP Hotline at (909) 422-3408 or the Annexation Hotline at (909) 422-3406.
