NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the CITY COUNCIL of the City of Pittsburg will conduct a public hearing in the City Council Chamber at City Hall on April 17, 2023, at 7:00 PM concerning the following item(s): 

Faria/Southwest Hills Annexation Project, AP 10-717 (GP, RZ, DA, ANNEX)

Appeal of the Planning Commission’s Determination to not Recommend for City Council Approval a Development Agreement, Amendments to the General Plan and Prezoning Designations, and Adoption of a Master Plan for the Faria/Southwest Hills Annexation Project. The proposed Master Plan would allow for development of approximately 341 acres of residential use and require approximately 265 acres to be preserved for open space, where the current General Plan allows for up to 478 acres of residential use and 129 acres of open space. Proposed amendments would not change existing maximum development potential (1,500 single family units), but rather would focus the development to the center of the site within the valley area. The proposed project also includes certification of a Revised and Updated Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), adoption of associated California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) findings, Statement of Overriding Considerations, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP),and a subsequent request for the City to initiate proceedings to annex the property to the City of Pittsburg. The project site is located in the hills southwest of the existing city limits and is commonly known as the Faria property.

PROJECT PLANNER: John Funderburg, (925) 252-4043 or jfunderburg@pittsburgca.gov
