Vista Ranch Project

The Vista Ranch Project is a comprehensive development initiative by the City of Clovis, California, centered on expanding the city's Sphere of Influence to include a 952-acre site. The project involves the adoption of a Master Plan for 507 acres and the subsequent development of approximately 368 acres into a mixed-use community over a 10-year build-out period. This development is designed to provide up to 2,718 residential units, featuring a mixed-use village core surrounded by high-density housing that transitions to lower densities at the edges to blend with surrounding rural and agricultural lands. The project will also incorporate a new network of public and private roadways and an extensive trail system. The project is supported by a Revised Draft Environmental Impact Report dated July 17, 2026, which ensures compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This environmental review includes detailed technical analyses of hydrology, water quality, transportation impacts, noise levels, air quality, and greenhouse gas emissions. Additional assessments have been conducted regarding cultural and tribal resources, agricultural land capability, and hazardous materials, including a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. The scope of work emphasizes sustainable development, requiring alignment with state climate goals such as SB 32 and AB 1279, and adherence to local standards including CMC Title 9 and the Clovis Fire Code. Performance is measured through the establishment of greenhouse gas emission baselines and the implementation of monitoring systems to track climate risk reduction.
