ZONING CODE AMENDMENT, LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AND
DESIGN REVIEW (PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED FROM AUGUST 4, 2020 SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING)
The Project is located on 17.41 acres at the southeast intersection of Sierra College Blvd. and Brace
Rd. on the following parcels: APN 045-042-011, 045-042-012, 045-042-023, 045-042-034, 045-042-
035, 045-042-036, and 045-042-037 owned by Costco. In addition to the parcels listed above, the
proposed Lot Line adjustment includes parcel APN 045-042-016 which composes a portion of the
Sierra Meadows Apartments owned by Robert Auguscik. The Project site is served by SPMUD,
PCWA, PG&E, South Placer Fire Protection District, and Recology Auburn/Placer, and the site is
vacant.
The Loomis Costco Project includes the construction and operation of an approximately 155,000-
square-foot warehouse retail facility and an associated fueling station at the corner of Sierra College
Boulevard and Brace Road. The warehouse retail space would provide approximately 149,500 square
feet of floor space dedicated to storage, retail goods and services.
Recommended action: Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing on the proposed Zoning Code Amendment, Lot Line Adjustment and
Conditional Use Permit for the Loomis Costco Project.
2. Adopt the following ordinance and resolutions:
a. Resolution 20-29, certifying the Environmental Impact Report for the Loomis Costco project,
adopting the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations, and approving the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
b. Ordinance 285, approving amendments to the Loomis Zoning Ordinance (Title 13) to allow, as a
conditional use, warehouse retail within the CG-General Commercial Zone under Section
13.26.040, to modify Section 13.30.080 to define lighting height for warehouse retail uses, to
modify Section 13.36.090 regarding compact parking stall dimensions, to modify Section
13.36.100 to define warehouse retail driveway requirements, to modify Section 13.36.110 to
clarify warehouse retail loading space requirements, and to modify Section 13.80.020 to clarify
the definition of warehouse retail and add a definition for fueling station.
c. Resolution 20-30, approving a lot line adjustment to combine “Existing Parcel One” (APN 045-
042-034 and 045-042-035), with APN 045-042-011 and 045-042-012 into one parcel (adjusted
Parcel 1), and adjust a portion of “Existing Parcel Two” (APN 045-042-016) eastward to include
Starlight Lane, currently in APN 045-042-034.
d. Resolution 20-31, approving a Conditional Use Permit allowing warehouse retail, including an
ancillary fueling station, within the CG-General Commercial Zone pursuant to the Loomis
