Proposed Del Rio Hills Planned Unit Development

The Del Rio Hills project site (commonly known as the Esperson property) is located in the City of Rio Vista on approximately 505 acres immediately west of downtown Rio Vista, south of State Route 12, east of Amerada Road, and north of unincorporated Solano County. The project is proposed as a Planned Unit Development (PUD), designed to be a mixed-use community which would include a range of residential uses, commercial uses, public facilities, school, parks, and open space. In order to effectively review the potential environmental affects of the project , an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is being prepared. A Draft EIR was prepared for the project and has been available for public review.  In order to ensure the public had adequate time to review the report and make comments, the comment period was extended for a full month. In order to read the Executive Summary of the Draft EIR, please Click Here. Complete copies of the Draft EIR are available for review City Hall, One Main Street, Rio Vista and the Solano County Public Library, 44 South Second Street, Rio Vista.

Current Status:
A Public Hearing to receive comments on the Draft EIR was held before the Planning Commission on February 11, 2009. Two additional Planning Commission workshops were also held. At this time, the applicant has tabled the project, while keeping the application open, pending analysis of the economic feasibility of the project as proposed.

City of Rio Vista Housing Element
The Housing Element is one of seven required elements of the City's General Plan. A housing element describes how a city will address the housing needs of its residents, with an emphasis on the provision of affordable housing. First, discribes the current demographics and housing conditions in the City. Then the element discribes what the anticipated housing needs are and how the city plans to preserve, inmporve, and develope housing for City households of all income levels. Finally, it specifies the City's housing policies and implementing actions which, together, comprimise the action plan to implement the City's housing goals. These policies and programs are formulated as a result of the element's identification of the City's housing needs, including those of special needs groups, and the financial resources that are anticipated to be available over the 71/2-year planning period of the housing element.
