Pursuant to a development agreement approved in 2013, development at Veramendi progresses through a specialized hierarchy of land entitlement processes. The Master Framework Plan is a high-level overview establishing a broad development framework for Veramendi by identifying:
• High-level development cells and land use designations;
• Major roadways;
• Centers and activity nodes; and
• Regional parks and a network of linear open spaces.
ISSUE:
Because the Master Framework Plan is a high-level, long-range plan, it is inevitable that amendments will need to be made over time as implementation of the project occurs. The Development Agreement anticipated this and outlines the processes for making amendments to the Master Framework Plan.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT: Sector Plans must conform to the Master Framework Plan. Sector Plan 7 proposes increasing the Resort Planning Area, a land use designation within the Master Framework Plan from 64 acres to 125 acres. Sector Plan 7 is located east of River Road and proposes Precinct 22 which encompasses the Resort Planning Area. This change requires an amendment to the Master Framework Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
Recommendation
