Town Center Specific Plan Update (TCSPA2023-1) - Public Hearing

Notice is hereby given that the Santee City Council will hold a public hearing on the following:

6:30 p.m. | Wednesday | February 26, 2025

CASE REFERENCE: Town Center Specific Plan (TCSP) Update: General Plan Amendment
(GPA2023-1), Town Center Specific Plan Amendment (TCSPA2023-1), Rezone (R2023-1),
Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZA2023-2), and Environmental Impact Report (AEIS2023-2)
SUBJECT: An update to the TCSP involving the expansion of the overall TCSP boundary by
approximately 41 acres (from 610 acres to 651 acres), creation of five distinct, yet interconnected
neighborhoods, and the updating of the land use and development standards within the TCSP
consistent with densities and intensities established by existing zoning and the adopted and
certified 2021-2029 Housing Element. The project would also expand the former Arts and
Entertainment Overlay District (AEOD) area by 170 acres (from 172 acres to 342 acres) and
rename the neighborhood the Arts and Entertainment Neighborhood (AEN). The purpose of the
AEN is to create a mixed-use walkable environment with both day and night activities, becoming
“Downtown Santee.”

The proposed TCSP includes conceptual plans and development options to facilitate housing on
four Housing Element sites consistent with the density maximums of the adopted Housing
Element and state density bonus law.

LOCATION: The Project encompasses the 651-acre Town Center Specific Plan (TCSP) area,
including five distinct neighborhoods and four Housing Element sites.

APPLICANT: City of Santee

ZONING: Varies

LAND USE DESIGNATION: Varies

ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: Based on the analysis and conclusions of the EIR, the City of
Santee finds that the proposed Project would result in significant Project-specific impacts
associated with aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils,
greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, land use, noise, transportation,
tribal cultural resources and utilities and service systems. Where feasible, Project-specific
impacts would be reduced to less than significant with the implementation of identified mitigation
measures. However, Project-specific impacts associated with the following topics of study may
remain significant and unavoidable: air quality, hazards and land use compatibility related to
airport density limitations, noise, and transportation.
