DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE
Description: San Juan Discovery (SJD) is a phased mixed-use project designed for 179 dwelling units
and as many as 29 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's). It includes new mixed-use buildings totaling
26,260 sf. 13,200 sf is planned for a combined child and elder care facility. It will have a 5,000 sf
Community Art Center and a 5,000 sf Community Agricultural Center with 3/4-acre Community-
oriented farm. Planned residential construction includes 12 Live-work units; 45 multi-family units
devoted to senior-age residents built over the child/elder care center; 40 additional multi-family
units built over the other planned retail spaces; 12 detached single-family homes with as many as
13 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU); 16 zero lot line single-family homes with up to 16 ADU's; 8
Cottage-style homes and a 16-unit condominium area with duplexes, 4-plexes and Carriage House-
style units. SJD includes a Common House for use by the PUD community with over 1-acre of
publicly accessible outdoor open space that includes an improved Plaza spaced at the F St. and San
Juan Avenue intersection.
Access will be provided via a new internal road network built in accordance with the SJD Phasing
plan. Phase 1 (i.e., southern, and western portions of the site) will connect to Discovery Rd. at two
(2) locations via a looped road design. Phase 2 (i.e., northern, and eastern lands) will access San
Juan Avenue via a new internal cul-de-sac road that begins roughly 1,000 ft. south of Discovery Rd.
Provisions are made for both on-site and on-street parking along with a perimeter and internal non-
motorized network. Public sewer and water will be extended into SJD from the adjoining public
rights-of-way. Stormwater facilities, which include open water components (i.e., ponds and
stream), have been designed along with on-site and street frontage landscaping.
