Kingsburg Planning Commission approves Sinclair convenience store redesign and rebuild

A significant development is on the horizon for Kingsburg as the Planning Commission has approved a conditional use permit for the redesign and rebuild of the existing Sinclair convenience store and gas station. Community Development Director Holly Owen presented the proposal during the March 13 meeting, highlighting plans for a modernized facility at 825 Sierra Street.

The project, spearheaded by applicant Bobby Santos, aims to transform the current Sinclair Station located at the corner of Sierra and Simpson Streets. The redevelopment will encompass two parcels totaling nearly 45,000 square feet, featuring a new convenience store, six fuel pumps, and a future retail building of 5,000 square feet along Simpson Street.

The commission's approval included adopting a negative declaration for the project in line with CEQA guidelines, ensuring that the development meets local environmental standards. This decision marks a pivotal step in enhancing the commercial landscape of Kingsburg, promising to bring new services and opportunities to the community.

As the project moves forward, residents can anticipate a revitalized gas station and convenience store that aims to better serve the needs of Kingsburg's growing population.
