Re: Withdrawal of Appeal by Laborers International Union of North America, Local Union 294 of Planning Director Approval of RCCB Fresno Distribution Warehouse Project (P22-00565) and Associated Streamlined Section 15183 Review
Dear Chairperson Vang, Vice Chair Hardie, Honorable Members of the Planning Commission, and Mr. Veatch:
I am writing on behalf of the Laborers International Union of North America, Local Union 294 (“LIUNA”) to withdraw its appeal of the Planning Director’s October 28, 2022 approval of the RCCB Fresno Distribution Warehouse Project (Environmental Assessment No. P22-00565, Development Permit Application No. P22-00565) and approval of the associated Section 15183 streamlined review.
Since filing the appeal, LIUNA has had an opportunity to discuss with the applicant the implementation of further environmental measures to address the issues raised in LIUNA’s comments. The applicant has agreed to employ additional measures that will further reduce the Project’s impacts. In light of that commitment, LIUNA believes its comments have been adequately addressed and has no further objections to the Planning Director’s approval of the Project. LIUNA respectfully requests that its appeal be withdrawn and the Commission approve the Project.
LIUNA Local 294
Withdrawal of Appeal of RCCB Fresno Distribution Warehouse Project December 20, 2022
A hearing on LIUNA’s appeal has been scheduled for December 21, 2022. Please add this letter to the record for that hearing. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Amalia Bowley Fuentes
