Ferrini Ranch is a proposed development project on 870 acres made up of 9 individual parcels to be subdivided into 212 residential units. The EIR is included as part of a conditional use permit which requests a general plan amendment to support a rezone and subdivision of the property.[1]

  • Visual impacts and critical viewshed obstruction
  • Air quality
  • Biological resources (special status plant and animal species)
  • Filling of perennial waters (stream alteration)
  • Oak woodlands
  • Nesting raptors and migratory birds
  • Wildlife road crossings
  • Cultural resources
  • Soil Erosion
  • Groundwater resources
  • Storm water runoff
  • Hazardous materials
  • Land use / population impacts
  • Construction noise
  • Transportation
  • Greenhouse gas and climate change

Project Alternatives
