SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Tribe
has requested the BIA to acquire six
parcels, totaling 70± acres of land, on
which the Tribe proposes to develop a
destination resort casino.
Approximately 2 acres of the site are
located within the City of Cloverdale,
California, while the remaining 68 acres
are within unincorporated Sonoma
County, California. The project site is
situated immediately east of Highway
101 and borders Asti Road. Regional
access to the project site is provided by
Highway 101, with local access
provided by South Cloverdale
Boulevard via Highway 101. The
proposed trust parcels partially overlap
with the Tribe’s historic Rancheria
location.
The proposed action consists of: The
fee-to-trust transfer of the project site;
Federal review (by NIGC) of the
development and management contract;
and development of the proposed
project. The proposed project includes:
An 80,000 square-foot casino; 287,000
square-foot hotel with 244 rooms;
48,600 square-foot convention center;
28,100 square-foot entertainment center;
3,400 garage and surface parking spaces;
and other ancillary facilities. A 20,000
square-foot tribal government building
is proposed on the south end of the
project site. Buildings would have a
height of up to two stories above grade
with the exception of the hotel and
parking garage which would have a
height of up to five stories above grade.
