Cabazon Infrastructure Plan and Cabazon Community Plan Project (GPA No. 01206 and ZR6234)

The proposed project would include the implementation of the Cabazon Community Plan and corresponding Cabazon Infrastructure Plan (CIP) in accordance with 6th Cycle Housing Element Action H-27. The goal of the Cabazon Community Plan (GPA No. 01206) is to address the Community of Cabazon's land use and infrastructure needs to prepare the Cabazon area for significant anticipated growth and development, particularly as the region plans for the possibility of accommodating up to 22,888 new housing units and an additional 49,420,323 square feet of non-residential uses over the next 30 years. Further, the Community Plan addresses topics related to the Cabazon community such as placemaking, land use, access and circulation, infrastructure and public services, development and design standards, and administration and implementation. Based on the General Plan, existing land uses within the project area include the following: Mixed Use Area, Highest Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Low Density Residential, Rural Residential, Rural Desert, Rural Mountainous, Commercial Retail, Light Industrial, Open Space - Conservation, Open Space - Rural, and Freeway. The Cabazon Community Plan Land Use Map proposes the following types of land uses: Commercial Retail, High Density Residential, Highest Density Residential, Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Very Low Density Residential, Rural Residential, Rural Desert, Rural Mountainous, Mixed-Use Area, Light Industrial, Heavy Industrial, Public Facilities, Open Space - Conservation, and Freeway. The CIP (ZR6234) would support buildout of the Community Plan by identifying needs and suggesting alternatives for the availability and expansion of infrastructure in the Cabazon Community Plan area. The CIP projects covered under the EIR have been divided into the following categories: • Domestic Water Supply and Distribution • Wastewater Collection and Treatment • Flood Control and Drainage Systems • Electric Power Supply • Natural Gas Distribution • Telecommunications and Broadband Services • Roadway Right-of-Way
