Potable Water will be supplied to the proposed project by the City via connection to an existing 12” water line in Golden Valley Parkway, south of Dos Reis Road.
Wastewater generated by the project will be treated by the City’s Consolidated Treatment Facility along Christopher Way, southeast of the project site. The project will connect to an existing 24” sanitary sewer line in Golden Valley Parkway, south of Dos Reis Road.
The proposed project will connect the existing 54” Stormdrain line in Golden Valley Parkway. Stormwater will be treated onsite with Best Management Practices (BMPs) through a series of bio-detention basins prior to entering into the City system. 28 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183 allows for a streamlined environmental review process for projects which are consistent with the
development density established by existing zoning,
community plan, or general plan policies for which an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified.
The City Council adopted the comprehensive Lathrop General Plan Update and Certified an EIR on September 19, 2022. The General Plan Update provides a framework for future growth and projects the development reasonably expected during the build-out of the City.
29 An Environmental Checklist, prepared by De Novo Planning Group was prepared to analyze the project’s consistency with the General Plan, the analysis contained in the General Plan EIR, and any site-specific environmental impacts or
cumulative impacts that may result from project
implementation.
The following technical reports were prepared for the proposed project:
◦ Biological Resources Analysis
◦ Preliminary Geotechnical Report
◦ Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
◦ Shallow Soil Investigations Report
◦ Acoustical Assessment
◦ Air Quality-Health Risk Technical Report
◦ and a Traffic Impact Analysis
30 The Environmental Checklist concluded that the
proposed project is consistent with the land uses
and development intensities assigned to the
project by the General Plan, impacts from buildout
of the General Plan including cumulative impacts
associated with the proposed project were fully
addressed in the General Plan EIR and
implementation of the proposed project would not
result in any new or altered impacts beyond those
addressed in the General Plan EIR.
31 The Planning Commission held a public hearing
on the proposed Ashley Furniture Project.
After review and consideration of all
information provided, and after taking and
considering all public testimony, the Planning
Commission voted unanimously (4-0) to adopt
Resolution No. 23-13, recommending the City
Council to find the project exempt from further
environmental review and to approve the
Ashley Furniture Project.
32 Planning Commission and Staff Recommend the
following actions:
1. Hold a Public Hearing;
2. Adopt a Resolution to Find the Project Exempt
from Further Environmental Review Pursuant to
Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines Section 15183; and
3. Adopt a Resolution to Approve Conditional Use
Permit No. 23-08 and Site Plan Review No. SPR23-09.
