I. SUMMARY
On April 18, 2022, the Planning Commission certified the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR) and approved Site Plan and Design Review No. DOR 1877-2021 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. VTTM 83481. During the same meeting, the Planning Commission also recommended approval of Specific Plan Amendment No. SP 27-2021, General Plan Amendment No. 112-2021, and Development Agreement No. DA 29-2021 to the City Council. The above applications are for a proposed project by Carson Goose Owner LLC that includes 1,567,090 square feet of light industrial development including 75,000 square feet of office space and approximately 12 acres of publicly accessible but privately owned and maintained open space community amenity areas and 10,000 square feet of commercial/retail uses, 12,600 square feet of restaurants (some with drive-through capability), a 2,200 square foot square feet walk-up cafe adjacent to the dog park and event lawn, and 9,000 square feet of food and beverage kiosks within the 96 acre PA3 within the 2018 District at South Bay Specific Plan and on a property owned by the Carson Reclamation Authority.
This item was noticed and placed on the agenda for the May 3, 2022 City Council meeting. However, after the completion of the required noticing, on April 21, 2022, Councilmember Arleen Bocatija Rojas appealed Planning Commission’s decision for certification of the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR) and approval of the Site Plan and Design Review No. DOR 1877-2021 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. VTTM 83481.
The three applications included for this item rely on the fact that the FSEIR was certified by the Planning Commission; however, since the Certification of the FSEIR has been appealed to the City Council, the City Council is not able to make a decision on this item. Therefore, staff is requesting a continuance of this item to the May 17, 2022 City Council hearing. In addition, the items that have been appealed to City Council will also be scheduled for the May 17, 2022 hearing.
