The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing Tuesday regarding plans for the Olinda Heights master-planned residential community. A key concern Brea residents and city officials have about the project is the amount of traffic that would be generated, especially on narrow and frequently congested Carbon Canyon Road. The environmental impact report estimates that Olinda Heights would generate a daily average of nearly 7,000 trips and significantly affect intersections in the area.

The developer of the Olinda Heights tract, in response to objections from community and environmental groups, is proposing to build fewer homes and set aside a larger area for parks and other recreational facilities. Santa Fe Energy Resources has decided to build 1,380 homes rather than the 1,600 it originally planned after community groups complained that the development would significantly increase traffic along Carbon Canyon Road.
