Bear Creek South Residential Project

The Bear Creek South Residential Project is a development initiative led by the City of Stockton, California, involving the annexation of approximately 530 acres into the city. The project scope includes prezoning, the approval of a Development Agreement, and the authorization of three Tentative Maps to facilitate the development of approximately 504 acres. The primary objective is the construction of 2,241 single-family residential units, along with the integration of parks, open spaces, and all necessary associated infrastructure. The project site is located immediately northeast of the intersection of West Lane and Morada Lane in San Joaquin County, encompassing multiple specific Assessor's Parcel Numbers. Administratively, the project is managed by the City of Stockton Community Development Department Planning Division, with Scott Speer serving as the Planning Manager. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 237210. It has been granted a Notice of Exemption from additional environmental review under Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines section 15183, as the development is consistent with the density and policies established by the Evision Stockton 2040 General Plan. Key stakeholders and points of contact include representatives from the City of Stockton, Tri Pointe Homes Holdings, Inc., and partners Matt Arnaiz and Steven Klein.
