SUBJECT: Consideration of the Planning Commission’s recommendation regarding certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 2025 Scotts Valley Town Center Specific Plan (Plan) and adoption of the Plan.
PROPOSED PROJECT: 2025 Scotts Valley Town Center Specific Plan (State Clearinghouse #2025050499) PROJECT LOCATION: The Scotts Valley Town Center Specific Plan area (Plan area) consists of approximately 58 acres within the City of Scotts Valley, including approximately 12.4 acres of vacant land centrally located in the core of the Plan area that was formally part of the Skypark Airport. The Plan Area also includes a southeast portion of Skypark, which is now a public park and open space. The Plan area is roughly bound by Blue Bonnet Lane and Kings Village Road to the north, an existing residential neighborhood (Hidden Oaks Condominiums) to the east, Mt. Hermon Road to the south, Skypark Drive to the west, and Skypark to the northwest.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The purpose of the Plan is to create a vision, policies, and objective standards to guide new development within the Plan area in a way that supports existing and new businesses, residents, and the overall community. The Plan would manage and direct changes in development patterns within the Plan area through 2045 and guide present and future land uses, development intensity and scale, urban design, economic development, circulation management and mobility, infrastructure and public services, and community benefits.
The project will allow for up to 657 residential units (consistent with the City’s Housing Element), up to 82,000 square feet of commercial uses, and up to 35,000 square feet of public/civic uses. The project will include adoption of amendments to the City’s General Plan, changing certain existing land use designations in the Plan area, creating new zoning districts, and updating existing or establishing new development standards to replace some of the current zoning provisions applicable to the Plan area.
