Hearing to reconsider Design Review DR00-0011, following an appeal, on property consisting of 0.64 acres (APN 090-430-42) for a proposed 2,976 square foot Circle K mini-mart; and 76 gas station, with 6 fuel stations, for a total of 12 fueling positions, under a 4,000 square foot canopy, in the Shingle Springs area. Applicant: ConocoPhillips. District II (Environmental Impact Report prepared)
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Certify the Environmental Impact Report based on the findings in Attachment 3; 2. Adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and 3. Approve Design Review DR00-0011 as the required findings can be made as noted in Attachment 2 based on the analysis in the staff report and the modification of the project to include mitigation measures and conditions itemized in Attachment 1.
Background: On April 14, 2000, the applicant submitted the subject Design Review application, DR00-11. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and staff report were prepared by the County and presented to the Planning Commission on March 22, 2001. The matter was continued to their June 14, 2001 hearing at which time it was approved. Approval of the project was subsequently appealed by Friends of Shingle Springs Interchange. The appeal was brought before the Board of Supervisors on August 14, 2001. The Board determined that the MND was inadequate and referred the matter back to staff for review of new information presented by the applicant and determination of whether an EIR or revisions to the MND were appropriate. Staff revised the MND incorporating new information and submitted it to the State Clearinghouse on April 22, 2002. The revised MND was brought before the Board on June 11, 2002, at which time the Board acted unanimously to require the preparation of an EIR. A Notice of Preparation (NOP) was circulated for the project in October 2002; however contract issues delayed further progress. An NOP was reissued on May 24, 2005.
Based on public comments, further analysis of the project was required. Timelines were suspended during subsequent discussions regarding the revised scope of work. On September 18, 2007, a new contract was executed by the Board funding the revised scope of work. Additional analysis was performed based on public comment prior to the release of the Final EIR (FEIR).
