DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE CANYON HILLS PROJECT

 

LEAD AGENCY: CITY OF LOS ANGELES

SCH #2002091018

SITE LOCATION:

The proposed project includes the development of 280 single-family homes, a three-acre equestrian park and the preservation of approximately 693 acres of open space.  The proposed single-family homes would be clustered on approximately 194 acres of the 887-acre project site.  Approximately 211 homes would be constructed on approximately 142 acres of land on the portion of the project site located north of Interstate 210 (“Development Area A”) and approximately 69 homes would be constructed on approximately 52 acres of land on the portion of the project site located south of Interstate 210 (“Development Area B”).  Approximately 693 acres (78 percent) of the project site, including a large swath of land west of the proposed homes, would be preserved as open space. 

The proposed project would also include an equestrian park on approximately three acres of land adjacent to La Tuna Canyon Road in the southwestern portion of the project site, which would be available for public use.  Additional open space and recreational facilities would be provided throughout the project site.  The proposed private recreational facilities include tot lots, active play areas, passive open space areas, a vista point with picnic area and gazebo, and a pool with a jacuzzi, restroom building and barbeque area.
