Environmental Impact Report (EIR)

One of the type of EIRs allowed in the California Environmental Quality Act

Allows for streamlining later in the environmental review of projects

Streamlining may only occur if potential impacts were addressed in the EIR

State law requires each of the 452 cities and 58 counties to adopt a “comprehensive long term general plan for its physical development”

Establishes the long range Vision for the City

Identifies the location of housing, business, industry, roads, parks, etc.

Protects public from noise, environmental hazards, conserves natural resources

Provides direction for the physical development & infrastructure improvements

752 Acres

Would require a Sphere of Influence Expansion (SOI)

SOI Expansion does not identify the official jurisdictional boundaries of a city, but rather designates the outermost physical boundary and service area of a city

Annexations must first be recognized by the Sutter County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)

P l a n n i n g A r e a

City Limits

City regulations only apply to property in the City, not necessarily the SOI

The preparation of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) serves as one of the initial steps in this process

15

Long term land uses (will be market driven)

The concept plan provides:

Land for several new parks

A new K-8 school (Walton & Bogue)

Commercial along Bogue Road

Open space along Gilsizer

Vast majority is single family residential
