Environmental Commitment

The Zeka Group has been part of the ongoing growth and development of the City of Antioch since 1992. 

The Zeka Group participated in the development and implementation of the 2003 General Plan. The Zeka Group has been an integral participant and contributor to the development of FUA #1 and the subsequent Sand Creek Specific Plan Study area as well.

As a responsible developer and contributor to the Antioch Community the Zeka Ranch project was the first and only development which developed a footprint which was 1) sensitive to the preservation of trees, 2) maintained habitat zones for Alameda Whip Snake, migration corridors and setbacks to Sand Creek and 3) focused on the preservation of predominate ridgeline elements.  The Zeka Group accomplished this desired planning technique by engaging H.T. Harvey and Associates, a well-known and respected firm, specializing in Biological resource assessment and determination.  H.T. Harvey prepared a full biological assessment (BA) for the entire Zeka Ranch project.  The assessment was utilized as a planning tool to judiciously place the final development footprint to minimize/avoid biological assets identified within the final BA.  The BA was generated at great cost to the Zeka Group, but the Zeka Group management team spearheaded by Louisa Kao felt that the unique setting and geography of the site warranted such a consideration.

The Zeka Group looks forward to continuing its responsible development to the Antioch community as it continues to grow and flourish.
