housing. The exact mix of the
housing for the Las Casitas site in
terms of size and type has not yet
been determined.
Part of the proposal the com-
pany is making is to bring on
line new water wells in Avalon
Canyon. Before that is clone an
environmental impact report
would need to be prepared as part
of the total project to determine
the reliability of the fresh water
supply and if there would be any
salt water intrusion impacts from
continuous fresh water pumping.
Obviously, this ambitious
proposal will require Planning
Commission and City Council"
approval before any steps can
be taken to grant entitlements.
Company officials would like
to enter into a Development
Agreement with the City some-
time in the future if the terms
of future negotiations can be
agreed to by the City Council and
Company officials. Company offi-
cers are aware that infrastructure
improvements for water, sewer,
storm drainage, traffic circula-
tion, onsite parking, recreational
amenities etc. at a minimum will
be part of the discussion.
While conditions of devel-
opment need to be identified,
quantified, and agreed to by the
City Council, the interest by
Company officials in developing
quality workforce and afford-
able housing for their employees is
consistent in+concept with goals in
the City's General Plan to provide
safe, sanitary, and affordable h.ous-
ing for City residents. The City too
is examining ways to encourage
the construction of quality afford-
able housing for residents in need
of affordable housing. The City is
in the process of identifying pos-
sible sites through its ENA partner
C&C.
