The 12.48-acre site fronts on the north side of the segment of Orchard Lane located between Cedar Lane and Calle Valverde.

Forty-seven of the single-family lots would be 4,250 square feet or less, with the remaining eight lots ranging from 4,500 to 7,358 square feet. An Initial Study was prepared for the proposed project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15063, which concluded that the project could have potentially significant environmental impacts related to vehicle miles traveled (VMT). In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15121 and 15126, a focused Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared to analyze these impacts in greater detail and evaluate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives. Although mitigation has been incorporated where feasible, impacts to VMT may remain significant and unavoidable. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15093, a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be prepared for consideration and recomendation for adoption to the City Council in conjunction with approval of the proposed project. The agenda for this meeting will be posted in accordance with the requirements of the Brown Act and will be available on the City of Soledad's website.
