The Evergreen-East Hills Development Policy Update

Encouraging of Commercial, Industrial, and Small Residential Development Applications in the Evergreen-East Hills Area

On April 15, 2008, the City Council adopted a resolution to rescind Resolution No. 71939, which was adopted on January 27, 2004 that directed staff to discourage residential development applications in the Evergreen-East Hills Development Policy area in order for the City to work on the Evergreen-East Hills Vision Strategy.

City Council clarified on April 15, 2008 that it now encourages the filing of residential development applications in the Evergreen-East Hills area (area east of Highway 101 and south of Story Road) specifically for proposalsof 35 units or fewer. The City Council also clarified that residential projects of greater than 35 units in size are still discouraged, and all commercial and industrial projects applications continue to be encouraged.

Upon filing of residential development applications for 35 or fewer units staff would begin an initial review of these proposals for conformance to the City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, design guidelines, and other applicable policies; however, environmental and other staff analyses can not be completed until the Evergreen-East Hills Development Policy is adopted. Council consideration of the Evergreen-East Hills Development Policy is expected this fall. For more information on the Policy update process, click here.
