LOOMIS COSTCO PROJECT – Consideration of General Plan Text Changes 3/3/2022 1:39 PM P:\Clerk\1 Agendas\2022\3 March 8, 2022\0 Agenda March 8, 2022 TC Mtg.doc 2  The Final Environmental Impact Report (Costco FEIR) was certified in August 2020. After the EIR was certified and the Costco project was adopted, three lawsuits were filed. The court determined that the Costco EIR violated CEQA because it did not analyze the Project’s inconsistency with the Town’s Zoning Code and General Plan due to the proposal to construct commercial parking, driveways, and landscaping on residential land. To address the inconsistencies found by the court, the Town proposes to amend the General Plan and Zoning Code text to codify the Town’s interpretation that commercial support uses, such as parking, driveways, lighting, and landscaping on residential property where the residential property is adjacent to and under common ownership with the commercial property and use. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Adopt Resolution ______ to allow Costco Wholesale to proceed with an application for General Plan text changes; and 2. Direct Planning Commission to review the project at its next meeting and make a recommendation to the Town Council. PUBLIC COMMENT 11. PIONEER ENERGY PRESENTATION During the January 2022 Council meeting, Council requested a representative from Pioneer Community Energy to provide an update on the agency’s activities. A representative from Pioneer will provide this update. RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends the Council receive the presentation from Pioneer Community Energy. No action is required.
