Northgate Town Square Environmental Impact Report Update

Final Environmental Impact Report is available today!

The Northgate Final Environmental Impact Report was released today, October 18, 2024. It can be found here.

Background:

The Final EIR document has been prepared to respond to comments received on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the proposed Northgate Mall Redevelopment Project, also known as the "Northgate Town Square" (project). The Draft EIR identifies the likely environmental consequences associated with development of the proposed project and recommends mitigation measures to reduce potentially significant impacts. This Response to Comments Document (RTC Document) provides responses to comments on the Draft EIR and makes revisions to the Draft EIR, as necessary, resulting from those comments or to clarify material in the Draft EIR. This document, together with the Draft EIR, constitutes the EIR for the project.

About the Project:

The Northgate Mall Redevelopment project proposes a comprehensive redevelopment of the existing mall into an open-air "main street experience," surrounded by mixed-use development of retail and up to 1,422 residences. The Project proposes to reduce the existing commercial retail from 766,507 sq. ft. to 219,380 square feet and construct high-density multifamily residential buildings in the form of townhome units and apartment buildings ranging in height from two to seven stories.
