Envision Peace Village Housing

The Envision Peace Village Housing project, located at 900 High Street in Santa Cruz, California, is a major modification to the previously approved application CP22-0164. The revised plan involves the construction of a five-story residential apartment building on a 2.23-acre site, increasing the total number of residential units from 40 to 47. This modification includes changes to the unit mix and the building design envelope, as well as the removal of 14 heritage trees to accommodate the complex and associated site improvements. Managed by the City of Santa Cruz, the project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 236116. It has been granted a statutory exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines section 15183, as the modifications do not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts beyond those previously reviewed under the General Plan 2030 EIR. Primary points of contact for the project include Senior Planner Ryan Bane and President Sibley Simon.
