VACAVILLE — The Vacaville City Council on Tuesday will weigh how much of an impact the proposed 767-home Brighton Landing development will have on the area around Leisure Town Road and Elmira Road if it is built.
The developer, The Sares-Regis Group, wants to build 767 single-family homes on 230 acres on the southeast corner of Leisure Town Road and Elmira Road. The project also proposes to build a private Catholic high school, set aside 11 acres for an elementary school and put in a six-acre park.
Brighton Beach is the only part of an area that is already inside city limits that is being considered for future urban growth in the city’s General Plan.
The EIR states that there are 46 potentially significant impacts, which the city’s planners say in the EIR are being avoided or reduced to a less-than-significant level.
City planners recommend the council approve the EIR. The Vacaville Planning Commission already gave its endorsement in a 6-0 vote at its Dec. 18, 2012, meeting.
The impacts include concerns on how the development will affect response times from fire and police departments, generate light glare that will affect homes, construction noise created during its creation and traffic noise created by the future residents, as well as the air quality and biological impacts to riparian habitats such as the old course of Alamo Creek, part of which is planned to be moved under ground.
