NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY FOR PUBLIC REVIEW OF A NOTICE OF
PREPARATION (NOP) FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
A Notice of Preparation (NOP) has been prepared
by the City of Wildomar for the revised Baxter Village Mixed-Use project (Plot
Plan No. 14-0002-R1) Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR). The NOP
is available for public review and can be downloaded from the City of Wildomar
website at http://www.cityofwildomar.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=9894827&pageId=10911316. The purpose of
this NOP is to fulfill legal notification requirements, and to inform the
public and Responsible and Trustee Agencies that a SEIR is being prepared for
the proposed Revised Baxter Mixed-Use project(Plot Plan No. 14-0002-R1). This NOP
solicits agency and interested party concerns regarding the potential
environmental effects of implementing the proposed Project.
Proposed Project: The proposed project would eliminate the approved 75,000 square-foot
retail center in order to permit the construction of an 84,000 square-foot
(3-story, 50-foot high) outpatient medical office building (MOB) on 7.2 acres,
and the construction of a 102-room (5-story, 50-foot high) hotel building on
2.4 acres. The approved residential planning areas of the project will remain
as originally approved. While a single proposal for processing by the City, the
proposed project requires two (2) distinct development actions described as
follows:
1)
Plot Plan – The proposal requires approval of a single Plot Plan for the entire
project site with updated conditions of approval for the proposed medical
office building (MOB) and hotel development (APN: 367-180-057).
2)
Parcel Map – The project will require approval of a Parcel Map to subdivide the
commercial parcel into two parcels, one each for the hotel and MOB.
The City has determined that the following
environmental topic areas will be discussed in the SEIR as the proposed project
may lead to new or more significant environmental effects when compared to the
original project: Air Quality; Greenhouse Gases; Hydrology and Water Quality;
and Transportation. Using the certified
EIR as a base, the SEIR will revise only those portions of the environmental
analysis that would be affected by the proposed project. Mitigation measures
from the certified EIR will be applied to the proposed project as appropriate
and may be modified by the new analysis. The CD to this NOP includes the DEIR,
FEIR, Appendices, and approved Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP) of the certified EIR, as well as the project applications, development
plan package, and technical studies for the proposed project. Except as
modified by the analysis in the SEIR, all of the measures in the existing MMRP
will be included in the SEIR.
Based on the
time limits defined by CEQA Guidelines, this Public Notice is posted to
officially notify the public, public agencies, responsible and trustee
agencies, that the required 30-day public review period will commence on Wednesday,
April 8, 2020 and conclude on Thursday May 7, 2020. Any written comments (via email or letter) on
the NOP must be submitted no later than 5 p.m. on May 7, 2020.
Written
comments may be mailed to Matthew C. Bassi, Planning Director, City of Wildomar
Planning Department, 23873 Clinton Keith Road, Suite 201, Wildomar, CA 92595. Email comments can be sent to [email protected].
Sincerely,
Matthew C. Bassi
Planning Director
