The project would also include millions for school expansions, public safety improvements, roadway widenings and wildfire protection, Greyshaw said. The housing mix would include single-family homes, an affordable senior community and smaller housing, including affordable options. He said the development would include 13 acres for the expansion of the Brea Sports Park, including new baseball, softball, football and soccer fields, as well as tennis courts and the city’s first public pickleball courts.
Greyshaw pointed to other communities in Southern California that had success building on former oil fields, including Olinda Ranch in Brea and Vista del Verde in Yorba Linda, and said Brea 265 will be able to build on that and be a “reflection of key community priorities, including new parks, trails and housing for Brea’s workforce.” Greyshock said he’s “confident” the project “will do its fair share of mitigating environmental impacts.” “We want to make sure the state park is covered with mitigation to account for that increased use.” “They’ve talked about how they have planned for a lot of trail connections, and that’s great, but that means there may be a lot more impact specifically to the state park,” she added. The small bird has been found on other old oil sites in the region. ”We need to look at what endangered species are there and whether the mitigation is adequate,” Schotterbeck said, including the California gnatcatcher in her concern. The public is also welcome to offer comments.Ĭlaire Schlotterbeck, executive director of conservation group Hills for Everyone, said her organization is still reviewing the report, but was glad to find it thorough.
The city this month released its environmental impact report for the development, totaling more than 8,000 pages, which will be part of city officials’ review process over the next few weeks.
