REGULAR AGENDA
10. LOOMIS COSTCO PROJECT – Consideration of General Plan Text Changes 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 22-07 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
David Ring – Del Mar: Asked about the text change in the zoning code to allow for parking in residentially zoned, voicing concern about unlimited parking in residential areas.
Motion to move recommended action: Councilmember Clark-Crets 2 nd: Councilmember Cartwright
Ayes: Clark-Crets, Cartwright, Duncan, Knisley
Noes: None
Absent: Baker
Abstain: None
