The long awaited Environmental Impact Report "EIR" has been completed for "The Farm", a 160 home development slated for the 117 acre property of the former StoneRidge Country club. This draft report contains over 1,000 pages of analysis and appendices and was prepared by City approved consultants and engineers at the expense of the developer. The GVCA is in the process of reviewing the report and will be assessing the merits of the project along with community concerns before taking a formal position on the development.
The draft report concludes that the project "would result in significant impacts to air quality, biological resources, cultural and tribal resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, and transportation. However, these significant impacts would all be mitigated to a less-than-significant levels. The proposed project would not result in any significant and unavoidable impacts."
