Council approves Stardust 12 subdivision amid CEQA addendum, reallocating units from nearby project
Summary
Council approved the Stardust 12 project — a Village 1 rezoning and small-lot map to create 84 medium-density single-family lots and 1.8 acres of open space — along with a CEQA addendum noting no new significant impacts; council vote was 5-0.
The City of Lincoln on April 28 approved entitlements for the Stardust 12 project, a proposed 12.8-acre residential subdivision in Village 1 that would create 84 medium-density single-family lots and preserve 1.8 acres of open space.
Associate planner Mikayla Noble presented the application for Ginn California 28 LLC, describing a small-lot tentative subdivision map, amendments to the Village 1 specific plan and zoning changes to redesignate approximately 11 acres to medium-density residential. Noble said the project would reallocate 36 unused units from the Parkwood project so there is no net increase in total units planned for Village 1.
Environmental consultant Adrienne Graham told council staff prepared an addendum to the certified 2012 Village 1 specific plan EIR and concluded the changes would not result in new significant environmental impacts because the area of disturbance remained consistent with the prior analysis. Staff recommended adopting the addendum, adopting resolutions to amend the specific plan and zoning, waiving first reading and adopting by title an ordinance to amend the general development plan, and approving the tentative subdivision map with conditions.
Clifton Taylor, representing the applicant, spoke in support. The council discussed a requested clarification to conditions of approval that would reference modified mitigation language in the addendum; council members moved and carried the motions to approve the package of entitlements (5-0).
What happens next: Staff will incorporate the clarified condition language and verify compliance with conditions of approval as the applicant moves toward final map and permit submittals.
Why it matters: The reallocation of Parkwood’s unused units to Stardust 12 keeps Village 1’s overall unit count unchanged while allowing the applicant to proceed with a different parcel configuration and lot sizes.
