Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)

Overview

The following information embodies the Final EIR, prepared for The Villages - Escondido Country Club Project Proposal.

Earlier this year, the City released a Draft EIR for public review and comment. This review period allowed agencies and the general public an opportunity to learn more about the Project and its potential consequences on the environment. Now, with this review period closed, the CEQA process requires the City to respond to each written comment received during the draft EIR review period. Each individual comment has been evaluated for relevance to the Draft EIR and a response is prepared. In some instances, a comment resulted in a revision to the Draft EIR, which has been reflected in the Final EIR and Errata.

The collection of comments and responses together with the Draft EIR (and any changes), constitute what is called the Final EIR.

The Final EIR must be certified by the City Council as adequate and in compliance with CEQA before the Project can be approved. The Planning Commission will review the Final EIR and make a recommendation to the City Council on October 24, 2017. It is anticipated that the City Council will consider the Project in November.
