Mount Shasta staff report construction delays at Danville project, redevelopment interest at former Rite Aid site
Summary
Staff said construction at the Danville project encountered unexpected groundwater, slowing progress; the city also reported multiple inquiries about redeveloping the vacant Rite Aid building and that cannabis licenses are at capacity.
Planning and development staff updated the commission on several active projects and operational items, including construction pauses at the Danville development, inquiries about the former Rite Aid building and a status update on cannabis licensing.
On the Danville project, staff said work is underway but has experienced interruptions after construction crews unexpectedly encountered water on site. “Some of the guys out there who are breaking ground have encountered unexpectedly encountered water,” a staff member said. Staff reported pauses while construction teams address the groundwater and described city staff involvement to assist the developer with construction management and permitting issues.
Staff also said the former Rite Aid building is vacant and that the city has received multiple calls from potential redevelopers and tenants. The property is in a commercial zone that would allow a range of uses, including possible housing, and staff said they are fielding inquiries and providing information on zoning and reuse opportunities.
On cannabis licensing, staff said the city has reached the permitted number of licenses available for allocation and that recent paperwork reflects ownership changes rather than new open slots. “As far as I know, all of the licenses that are available for allocation by the city are all being used,” a staff member said.
Other updates included civic volunteer cleanup opportunities, the city newsletter distribution and a planned noise-ordinance update staff hopes to bring to commission review next month for eventual consideration by the commission and council. Staff characterized these items as regular operational updates rather than decisions requiring immediate action.
