The Final Environmental Impact Report (P07-186) for the ProLogis Eucalyptus Industrial Park Project is complete and available for public review and comment. The project case numbers are PA07-0081 through PA07-0084 and PA07-0158 through PA07-0160. The project and Final EIR have been scheduled for a public hearing at the October 14, 2014 City Council meeting at 6:00 pm in the Council Chamber at City Hall.

The project is generally described as a General Plan Amendment for approximately 38 acres from R15 to Business Park and a Zone Change from Business Park, Business Park Mixed-use, and R15 to Light Industrial for approximately 84 acres. The land use changes are required for development of four warehouse distribution facilities totaling 1,529,498 square feet with building sizes that range from 160,106 square feet to 862,035 square feet.

The applicant also proposes Tentative Parcel Map No. 35679 to subdivide the project site into five parcels (four parcels for industrial development and a fifth parcel for future residential development). A General Plan Amendment is also required for proposed changes to the City’s circulation element and the Master Plan of Trails. Approval of this project will require certification of an EIR.

This project was continued from the August 26, 2014 City Council meeting agenda at the request of the applicant to allow for time to withdraw Plot Plan applications for two warehouse buildings and to revise project exhibits for consistency with the Reduced Intensity Alternative of the Final EIR.

The Final EIR contains responses to the comments that were received during the public review period, necessary modifications to the text of the Draft EIR, and the proposed Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. The Final EIR has been updated for consistency with the applicant’s preference to develop the Reduced Intensity Alternative.
