TABLE 6.1 CHANGES
Changes to infrastructure and timing for the installation of improvements.
PROPOSED TABLE 6.1 CHANGES
Implement the North Merced Major Roadway Improvement Fee (NMMRIIF) (formerly known as a Category II fee in the BRMDP.
Clarifies what improvements are eligible for PFFP credit.
Identifies projects that would be CIP (City to install improvements when sufficient funds are received an all right-of-way has been obtained).
Eliminates 3 bridges north of Bellevue Road due to biological constraints.
Eliminates the extension of Catherine A Hostetler Blvd. north of Bellevue Road.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
• A Mitigation Measure for the BRMDP EIR,
requires 17.3% of all housing units within
the area to be affordable.
• Previous developers of BRE did not meet
this obligation, but did provide 66
affordable units off-site and constructed
an 81-unit subdivision at the NWC of
Cardella and M St.
• The current developer of BRW and BRN
intends to meet the obligation based on
the number of units in the BRW and BRN
area.
• If an in-lieu fee is approved by Council,
the fee could be paid rather than
constructing some of the units.
• Based on the number of units that would
be developed if this request is granted,
485 affordable housing units would be
required.

AFFORDABLE
HOUSING
NO NET LOSS
f State law requires a “NO NET LOSS” Finding if property used to accommodate the RHNA is “down-zoned.”
f Villages 22 A & B were sites used to accommodate the
affordable housing requirement of the RHNA.
f The proposed changes would change the land use
designation from High-Medium Density Residential (12-24 units/acre) to Low-Medium Density Residential (6-12
units/acre).
f If all the changes as proposed are approved, there
would be no net loss due to the other areas being “up-
zoned” to High-Medium Density.
PARKS/OPEN SPACE/
PUBLIC FACILITIES
f The areas designated as being
biologically sensitive would be
dedicated as open-space/park
land. Some of the land in the
buffer areas around the sensitive
areas could be developed as
parks. The sensitive areas would
remain undeveloped.
f Over 293 acres of open
space/parks would be dedicated
within the BRMDP.
f The existing El Capitan HS was part
of the BRMDP (relocated from
south of Bellevue Rd).
f An elementary school site has
been dedicated at the NWC of
Arrowwood and M St.
f An elementary school site is
designated in BRN, northwest of El
Capitan H.S.
f An Addendum to the General Plan EIR was
prepared by JB Anderson Land Use Planning.
f The General Plan EIR considered the
development within the BRMDP area.
f A Traffic Analysis [including Greenhouse
Gas(GHG) Emissions] was prepared to
analyze the changes proposed with Table
6.1 and to comply with state law on GHG
emissions. No impacts were identified.
f The proposed changes would result in a net
loss of units within the BRMDP area.
f The addendum did not identify any new
impacts or require any additional mitigation
measures.
f The project would be required to comply
with all mitigation measures of the Merced
Vision 2030 General Plan EIR.
