Environmental Impact Report

The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is a key document that was considered by the Planning Commission. A comprehensive and wide ranging environmental impact review of the proposal was carried out by an external consultant. There were several opportunities to comment.

The first opportunity to comment was during the Preparation Scoping Period, which was set for November 22nd to December 22nd. The Preparation Scoping Period is held at the start of the EIR review process. All the key environmental aspects to be considered were identified during this period. There was a Public Scoping Meeting on December 9, at which numerous concerns with the PRS proposal were raised. Thank you to all who commented during the meeting. Here is a video recording of the meeting:


A group of 18 residents plus external contributions  submitted a Consolidated Response to the Notice of Preparation of the Environmental Impact Report.

At the completion of his work, the consultant submitted a draft EIR to the City. The final EIR was submitted to the Planning Commission, which held a public meeting at which it considered the EIR and decide to recommend the expansion proposal to the City Council.

Community Meeting

The SRC Expansion Proposal was discussed in a Community Meeting on November 16, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. Here is a video recording of the meeting:

Heritage Commission

You might like to reference the Heritage Resource Inventory List, (page 3 of 11) which lists the Odd Fellows Home (the building we refer to as the Manor) as a building in the Mission Revival Style contributing to the heritage of Saratoga. This precious resource and its external setting should not be compromised by any development on the SRC campus.

Planning Commission

The Planning Commission is the key committee. Its recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final approval. It is recommending the so-called "Master Plan" for SRC expansion to the City Council.
