• Land Plan
• Collaborative Use Agreement
• Next steps
Site Location
• Blue Rock Springs Golf Course
Background
• 2018-RFQ for redevelopment of the site
• Syar operates a quarry next to Blue Rock Golf Course. • Selected Developer proposes residential uses on both
sides of Columbus Pkwy and gold uses surrounding.
• 2019-Failed negotiations
• 2020-Syar alleges development violates 1990
agreement with City and files legal claim
• 2020-Syar submits to the City the “Open Space
Protection Initiative,” set for a vote on 11/3/2022
• New staff reignited negotiations & came to agreement
on Settlement & Release Agreement and terms therein
• Developer propoes revised design: residential units on West of Columbus Pkwy, commercial development on
East side, new clubhouse and rehabilitated golf course ( reduced to 18 holes). Golf course will remain in City
ownership No applications have been submitted
Syar Obligations in
Settlement
• Syar as part of Settlement will:
– Affirmatively support the golf course
expansion
– Withdraw its Open Space Initiative
within 5 calendar days of Settlement
Agreement execution
– Waive all legal claims against the City
– donate $1Mill of materials to
Developer over 4 yrs
Developer Obligations in
Settlement:
• Developer agrees to submit application which:
– Moves residential development to the west side of
Columbus Parkway
– Observes ½ mile buffer zone between the quarry and
the residential units (buffer is the golf course and
clubhouse)
– Enter into a collaborative use easement with Syar
which provides for notice of quarry activity for all
property within the buffer zone.
City Obligations in
Settlement• Abide by the buffer zone so long as
Syar maintains its land use permit with
Solano County.
– The permit runs until 2045 and can
be renewed.
• If the City approves the Developer’s
application, the City must abide by the
land plan for ten (10) years, including if
the City transfers the property to a
different developer or proposes City
development in the buffer zone.
The Buffer Zone
• No residential uses will be allowed east
of Columbus Parkway except in the
orange shaded area.
• Commercial uses are limited to the red
shaded area
• Future clubhouse east of Columbus
Parkway will be within 300 ft. of the
Parkway and no further north than the
existing clubhouse.
• The buffer zone will not preclude
outdoor golf use.
Buffer Zone
No commercial or residential uses in green
circle besides orange and red zones
The Land Plan
• Development of the golf course will be
designed to shield outdoor activities
from the quarry.
– Commercial development will use
the clubhouse or masonry walls as
barriers to residential development.
– Commercial buildings will use
engineering designs to mitigate
quarry noise, vibrations, and resist
rockfall.
– All outdoor commercial activity in
the red zone (other than golfing)
may be subject to cancellation
based on the quarry’s blasting
schedule.
– The quarry will not blast on
weekends unless in an emergency.
Collaborative Use
Easement
• So long as Solano County permits Syar to
operate the quarry, effects of its operations
can pass over the easement area in
compliance with the 2014 Use Permit.
– Examples: Noise, dust, vibrations, light.
• A disclosure for future residential owners
in the easement area will be recorded
along with the easement, development
application, and residential deeds.
Next Steps
• Developer design and submission of
formal Entitlement applications
• Withdrawal of Legal Claim and Initiative
within 5 days of Agreement execution
• Purchase and Sale Agreement
• CEQA review and Entitlement processing
will return to City Council for
consideration
