The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation (Tribe) is considering entering into a land lease for the development of a soccer training facility and youth academy (Project) on the Tribe’s Reservation in San Diego County, California. The lease area includes approximately 28 acres on the northwestern portion of the Reservation and is bordered by Dehesa Road to the north and Willow Glen Drive to the west. The lease area is currently developed with portions of the Singing Hills Golf Resort, including the Pine Glen Golf Course, Singing Hills Hotel, and driving range. The Project consists of retrofitting the existing hotel into classroom, dormitory facilities, and offices, and construction of a new approximately 50,000-square foot training facility building, five soccer fields, one goalkeeper training field, other open air training areas, and ancillary circulation and infrastructure improvements.
A Tribal Environmental Impact Report (TEIR) has been prepared to comply with the Tribe’s Business Leasing Regulations under the Helping Expedite and Advance Responsible Tribal Home Ownership (HEARTH) Act. The purpose of the TEIR is to assess potential environmental impacts of the proposed lease and to recommend best management practices and mitigation measures to avoid and/or minimize potential environmental impacts.
The TEIR is publicly available for a 30-day period beginning on August 18, 2023, and ending on September 16, 2023. All relevant and substantive comments on the TEIR that are received by September 16, 2023, will be considered by the Tribe.
The TEIR is available to download on this website and is also available in print at the El Cajon Branch of the San Diego County Library located at 201 E Douglas Ave, El Cajon, CA 92020. Comments may be submitted in writing via email or mail with the subject heading “RE: Comments on the Sycuan Lease and Training Facility TEIR”.
