Revised River Islands at Lathrop Phase 2 Project
<br /> The approved River Islands at Lathrop Project includes a mix of residential, commercial, office, recreational,
<br /> educational, and open space uses on approximately 4,905 acres on Stewart Tract and Paradise Cut. The
<br /> overall project,first approved in 2003, has been updated and amended for Phase 1 development in
<br /> particular, in 2005, 2007, 2012, 2014, 2015, and 2018. The 2012 and 2018 updates also included minor
<br /> changes to Phase 2.
<br /> The approved Phase 2 area, as contemplated in the 2003 SEIR and Lathrop General Plan, provides for the
<br /> development of a total of 6,716 residential dwelling units, a 211-acre employment center(Business Park), a
<br /> neighborhood commercial area, additional lakes, parks, golf courses, marinas, schools, an expansion of the
<br /> transportation/circulation system, and completion of the flood protection system. As part of the overall
<br /> project, River Islands would establish the biological habitat restoration/creation habitat areas and preserve
<br /> natural lands in Paradise Cut if federal and state approvals could be obtained. However, because proposed
<br /> construction of the Phase 2 area avoids delineated wetlands and waters of the U.S., completion of the urban
<br /> development of River Islands is not predicated on biological habitat restoration/creation activities.
<br /> The proposed revisions to the Phase 2 Project would densify the Phase 2 area by including additional multi-
<br /> family dwellings (condominiums, apartments, etc.) as well as more attached single-family residences similar
<br /> to units already constructed as part of Phase 1. The proposed modified development would also create a
<br /> smaller"town center" mixed-use area at Paradise Road (at the west entry to the project area) and a mixed-
<br /> use Transit Village as part of the Employment Center District that would complement the future planned
<br /> Valley Link (formerly ACE)transit station.
<br /> Other proposed Phase 2 modifications include changes in the circulation pattern from the adopted WLSP
<br /> and General Plan, with River Islands Parkway, Lakeside Drive, and Paradise Road shifting locations to the
<br /> updated land use pattern. Other land use shifts include the Old River Road District, currently part of the
<br /> Phase 1 development boundary, being included as proposed development within Phase 2. Golden Valley
<br /> Parkway would still serve its purpose as a regional alternative roadway as proposed in the current plan. An
<br /> additional arterial from the existing terminus of Golden Valley Parkway in the Employment Center would
<br /> continue into the Phase 2 area for internal circulation.
<br /> Table 1 shows the existing land use program for the Phase 2 Project, along with the proposed plan and a
<br /> comparison of the changes.
