7.A. - Page 392 Costco Warehouse and Gas Station Project Historic Chronoloqy In 2005, Costco Wholesale (the "Applicant") proposed to redevelop its site by demolishing its existing warehouse and constructing a new facility including a larger sales warehouse, a tire center, and a new 16-pump gasoline station (the "Project"). Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), a Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") were prepared in 2006 and 2007, respectively, which included environmental analyses for the proposed 16 fuel stations (see Documents 3 and 4, available on the City's website and at Planning Services). On June 19, 2007, the City held a joint Planning Commission/Zoning Administrator hearing on the Project, and the Planning Commission certified the 2007 Final EIR for the proposed 16 fuel stations (see Documents 5 and 6, available on the City's website and at Planning Services). The Zoning Administrator approved the Project with a smaller gasoline station comprised of three islands and 12 fuel stations (see Document 7, available on the City's website and at Planning Services). On June 26, 2007, the Project was appealed to the City Council by members of the Redwood Village Neighborhood Association (see Document 8, available on the City's website and at Planning Services). On August 8, 2007, Addendum No. 1 was prepared to address a production error in Appendix D of the 2006 Draft EIR which contained the traffic study and technical memos on which the Traffic and Circulation section of the 2006 Draft EIR was based (see Document 9, available on the City's website and at Planning Services). On August 13, 2007, the City Council conducted an appeal hearing on the Project, in which it upheld the Planning Commission's certification of the 2007 Final EIR and the Zoning Administrator's approval of the Project with the reduced 12-pump gasoline station (see Documents 8 and 10, available on the City's website and at Planning Services). On May 22, 2012, the Planning Commission held a study session to provide preliminary feedback on the proposed scope and site design of the Costco Gasoline Station Expansion Project ("Modified Project") to expand the existing Costco Wholesale gasoline station from three islands and 12 fuel stations to five islands and 20 fuel stations. In response to the Planning Commission's comments and recommendations, the Applicant submitted a detailed response. In September 2012 ICF International, the City's environmental consultant, completed Addendum No. 2 to the 2007 Final Environmental Impact Report for the Redwood City Costco Gasoline Station Expansion Project.
