CEQA
The City of Fountain Valley (City) recently designated a specific plan for the area bounded by Ward Street to the west, Talbert Avenue to the north, the Santa Ana River to the east and Ellis Avenue to the south as Fountain Valley Crossings. The new Headquarters Building will be located within this area. Additionally, the City has certified an Environmental Impact Report for Fountain Valley Crossings.
