EQB Environmental Review An Environmental Assessment Worksheet is not mandated. The 31 unattached units and 55 attached units are under the threshold required for a mandatory EAW. Wetlands A wetland report was completed by Kjolhaug Environmental Services on January 5, 2026, for the site. Eleven (11) wetlands were delineated onsite totaling 2.64 acres. The majority of the wetlands onsite are currently being farmed and disturbed annually. The vegetation is primarily agricultural crop and invasive grasses. Because of the existing high level of disturbance, minimal wetland vegetation and communities are found onsite. The wetlands are not within the Wetland Management Corridor. Drainage and utility easements will be dedicated over the outlots containing the wetlands. The project is proposing to impact 0.86 acres of wetland. Wetland mitigation banking will be used to meet RCWD and USACE replacements. Floodplain The 2015 FEMA Floodplain Map indicates Zone A flood plain on site. The RCWD floodplain elevation is 901.18.
