Elnoka Continuing Care Retirement Community (Elnoka CCRC or project) proposes the development of 676 residential units, comprised of 74 cottages, 528 apartments, 12 attached units that are intended for employee housing, and a 62-unit care center. The project includes amenities for Elnoka residents such as private and formal dining rooms, a café, entertainment and activity rooms, sport courts, swimming pool, pet parks, walking paths, a beauty salon, reading rooms, banking services, business center, and outside courtyards. In addition, the staff would provide housekeeping, emergency response, exercise programs, and living assistance for memory or physically impaired residents. The purpose of this Draft EIR is to inform decision-makers, representatives of affected and responsible agencies, the public, and other interested parties of the potential environmental effects that may result from implementation of the proposed Elnoka Continuing Care Retirement Community Project (project). This Draft EIR describes potential impacts relating to a wide variety of environmental issues and methods by which these impacts can be mitigated or avoided.
