Planning staff Adam Peterson described the proposal as a 724‑square‑foot brewery to be located inside an existing tenant space that already contains a restaurant, bar, lounge and private dining area. Brewing operations would be staffed by a single restaurant employee, with brewing activity scheduled approximately five days per week from about 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The applicant does not propose commercial deliveries for brewing nor distribution of beer brewed on site; all beer produced would be sold on site.

Adam noted the project requires a conditional use permit for food and beverage production and a minor use permit for alcoholic beverage sales other than beer and wine under the Railyard Master Plan (Downtown Extension zone). No exterior building changes are proposed. Departments routed to review raised standard conditions: Truckee Fire Protection District requires sprinklering; Nevada County Environmental Health provided consumer‑protection and solid‑waste conditions; Truckee Donner Public Utility District requested a backflow preventer.

No public comments were received during the noticing period. The Truckee Police Department had no concerns; staff concluded the size and operating characteristics are consistent with the previously approved restaurant use in the building and recommended adoption of Resolution 2025‑09 to approve the use permit and minor use permit and find the project exempt under CEQA (staff cited prior EIR and PRC §21166 / CEQA Guidelines §15162 for no further review).

Commissioners asked a small number of clarifying questions about operations and timing; the applicant said the move is a relocation of an existing brewery operation and that the team hopes to open within the year. A motion to approve the use permit and minor use permit passed on a recorded unanimous vote of the commission.

Standard conditions of approval (sprinklering, environmental health controls, backflow prevention, and any Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control requirements) will be included and must be satisfied prior to final occupancy or operation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Truckee Planning Commission, June 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved a use permit for a small on‑site brewery (724 sq ft) and a minor use permit for sale of alcoholic beverages other than beer and wine at 10242 Church Street (The Crossing).

Staff planner Laura (last name not specified) told the commission the revised Phase 2 proposes two buildings: a commercial building with about 23,600 square feet of commercial floor area (nine tenant spaces) fronting Soaring Way and a residential building totaling roughly 84,900 square feet and 86 multifamily units. Under the proposal the base density for the site (12 units per acre) would allow 57 units; with a 50% density bonus the allowable unit total increases to 86.

Of the 86 units, the applicant proposes 14 units deed‑restricted to low‑income households (the required 24% of base units under the state density bonus calculation). The applicant also proposes that 55 market‑rate units be deed‑restricted to rents affordable to local workers within the Truckee Tahoe School District boundary; 7 of the 14 low‑income units would also count as workforce units. The applicant presented an “alternate equivalent proposal” to meet the remaining inclusionary requirement by deed‑restricting 55 market‑rate units for local workers rather than creating an additional 1.6 deed‑restricted units.

The project requests several concessions and waivers allowed under state density bonus law: a waiver of the specific-plan requirement that commercial be a primary component of mixed‑use projects (the applicant seeks to exceed the 50% residential limit), a waiver of the maximum floor‑area ratio (staff calculated the proposed project at approximately 0.53 FAR vs. a 0.25 maximum under current calculations), and a waiver of private exterior space requirements for multifamily units. The project also requests four development‑standard modifications (reduced common open space from 21,500 to about 11,000 square feet, reduced storage area per unit, adjustments to parking‑lot landscaping where a drainage easement conflicts with the standard, and parking reductions tied to the density bonus).

Laura told commissioners that the project had been routed to utilities and special districts and that staff received a will‑serve letter from the Truckee Donner Public Utility District. Staff recommended adoption of Resolution 2025‑07 finding the project consistent with the Jorg Ranch Specific Plan as amended in June 2021, precluding further CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines §15183 and Public Resources Code §21166, and approving the requested permits and density bonus concessions subject to draft conditions.

Architect Sean Whitaker (Dolan Group) said the redesign consolidated four previously approved buildings into two, separating commercial and residential uses horizontally (retail along Soaring Way, housing to the rear). He said the change was driven by financing and feasibility concerns and allowed the team to achieve a financially viable project while preserving on‑site commercial visibility.

Art Chapman, part of the applicant team, summarized market conditions for commercial and multifamily financing, noting national challenges for construction lending but saying mixed residential plus food/service commercial could still be financeable because of built‑in clientele.

Public comment included supportive letters from Mountain Area Preservation (support for additional housing but concerns about the four‑story massing and design) and the California Housing Defense Fund (comments about state housing approval requirements). Two members of the public spoke in support citing local employer workforce needs.

Commission discussion touched on massing and building height (the specific plan allows a 50‑foot/4‑story limit), pedestrian connectivity through the commercial building (staff and applicant showed a planned pass‑through), bike parking (applicant to resolve a one‑space shortfall), snow storage (on‑site and off‑site temporary locations on Parcel 3), and trigger provisions for building the RMW workforce parcel based on constructed square footage in the plan area. Commissioners noted their discretion is limited by state housing law and the project’s status as a permitted housing use under the amended specific plan.

A motion to adopt Resolution 2025‑07 and approve the development permit amendment, plan development amendment, zoning clearance and the requested density‑bonus concessions and waivers carried on a recorded unanimous vote of the commission. Conditions of approval will be finalized to address the checklist items in the staff report (bike parking correction, exterior lighting/photometrics, documented hold‑harmless for landscaping in easements, final will‑serve language and construction hours consistent with the specific plan, noise study updates, parking standards and snow‑storage arrangements).

Planning staff noted the project approval is subject to the appeal period (appeal period end referenced in staff presentation) and that subsequent development permits and building permits will be required before construction begins.","The commission approved a development-permit amendment and density bonus allowing 86 multifamily units (including 14 deed‑restricted low‑income units and 55 units restricted for local workers) and reduced commercial floor area in Soaring Ranch Phase 2, subject to conditions and concessions under state density bonus law.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6554496,"Planning commission recommends rezoning 10449 Somerset Drive to allow lot-line adjustment",496,448000,944000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5023663-54fc048ecf4505c9a59896f7ddb452b3&start=448&end=944","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5023663-54fc048ecf4505c9a59896f7ddb452b3/thumbnail_448000.jpg","/articles/6554496/California/Planning-commission-recommends-rezoning-10449-Somerset-Drive-to-allow-lot-line-adjustment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6554496-533817169cc5b0d799ee3e120b2ff6b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771133209&Signature=G2P9zsDG-ic0fKbQ4Szn-9qVY0ZqTPZt5xmxzvPuM6SM30BY2RE6mthLoVrMFwuDifecjGwxqCrHGP5uppEZ8GD0m9UKQbjgE3WXoD2r3fOsN~DH924nkZL7lGww5QkWnaM2L-XezLweeNjaQaHMnW9G2qZ5amGteCypWvfpyLzVaX~nE5BngN9r5q23z0ZgRLlLxuP6csMfEfQfSXXoRoX9pGKtIsFapzQ~M2GwM4OCR71H7HR2NhDtNBunr1xa-i-oZ3rg~YO3tDbeQ6AdYYXuTMQjVd89Emi38PY7vQOetcBepnNQcVavWhhAGUpNm-iN-gEt2rrJ~fXwRFUsIA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Truckee Town Planning Commission on a unanimous vote recommended that Town Council approve a zoning map amendment to rezone 10449 Somerset Drive from public facilities to low-density residential (RLX) to allow a lot-line adjustment that would merge two adjacent parcels.

Staff associate planner Chantal Bernberg told the commission the two parcels share the same General Plan land-use designation (very low-density residential) but are zoned differently; one parcel is currently zoned public facilities. “The change to RL‑X would make it consistent with the general plan,” Bernberg said, and staff recommended adoption of Resolution 2025‑08 recommending approval to council.

Bernberg said the parcel originally served the Glenshire Mutual Water Company and was later sold by the Truckee Donner Public Utility District after the on-site well was decommissioned. The applicant, who owns both parcels, seeks to merge them but cannot complete a lot-line adjustment until the split zoning is resolved. The rezoning would remove the split-zoned condition that would otherwise make a merged parcel nonconforming.

Applicant Mark (first name not specified in record) confirmed the decommissioned well is now buried and said the additional lot area would provide the setback needed to add a wood shop to his garage and a carport for a camper van. “It will give me the setback required to add a wood shop to my garage and a carport for, hopefully, a camper van someday,” he said.

The commission opened public comment on the item (no speakers) and moved to adopt Resolution 2025‑08 recommending Town Council approve the rezoning. The motion passed with recorded affirmative votes from Chair Kavanaugh, Vice Chair Taylor, Commissioner Claren and Commissioner Kauffman; one commissioner did not register a recorded vote on the audio.

The Planning Commission’s recommendation is advisory; final approval of the rezoning now moves to Town Council. If council approves, the applicant may return to the town to complete the lot-line adjustment and merge the two parcels.

Key procedural options retained by the commission included continuing the hearing to request additional information, requiring preparation of an initial study if the exemption from CEQA were found unsuitable, or recommending denial if required findings could not be made. Bernberg confirmed the project had been routed to the relevant water and sewer agencies (Truckee Donner Public Utility District and Truckee Sanitary District) and staff had received no capacity concerns.

The matter will next be scheduled for Town Council consideration; the commission’s recommendation and the record will be forwarded to council for a final decision.","The Planning Commission voted to recommend that Town Council rezone 10449 Somerset Drive from public facilities to low-density residential (RLX), enabling the applicant to merge two adjoining parcels and proceed with a lot-line adjustment.","actionData","errors"]
