Planning staff previews November agenda: special meeting, appointment, fueling station and used-car-lot proposals
Summary
Staff told the commission the November meeting will likely move to Nov. 3 as a special meeting, that the city will recommend Michael McNeil for appointment at the Oct. 14 council meeting, and previewed two projects likely to appear in November: a commercial truck-fueling station at Road 57 and a proposed used-car lot at Oak and Tehama.
Willows planning staff on Oct. 7 told the commission that the November planning commission meeting will likely be moved to Monday, Nov. 3, as a special meeting, and that the city will recommend Michael McNeil for appointment to the planning commission at the Oct. 14 City Council meeting.
Community Development Services Director Joe Bencourt said staff expects to recommend Michael McNeil, who has interned with the California Office of Historic Preservation and the City of Sacramento’s preservation office, to the council for appointment. If the council confirms the appointment, Bencourt said McNeil would likely join the commission for the Nov. 3 meeting.
Bencourt also previewed two projects expected for the November agenda. The first is a proposed commercial fueling station at the existing Chevron site on Road 57 in Tehama. Staff said the preliminary submittal includes a lot-line adjustment and, later, design review materials; initial materials submitted by the applicant include a geotechnical report, traffic study and a Phase I environmental report. Bencourt summarized the proposal as seeking approximately nine commercial truck fueling stations, a truck service station, a truck car wash, an updated convenience store and a drive-through; the project proponents described it as an expanded commercial fueling and service facility adjacent to existing highway uses. Bencourt emphasized these materials are preliminary and that a lot-line adjustment and subsequent design review would come forward if the applications are complete.
The second anticipated item is a conditional use permit application for a used-car lot at the corner of Oak and Tehama streets. Staff said the applicant is a distinct company (not an expansion of an existing local lot) and that additional design information is needed before the item can be scheduled for final review.
Bencourt asked commissioners to note the meeting-date change and to expect formal applications in November. No formal action was taken on either project at the Oct. 7 meeting; staff described the summaries as preliminary submissions in the review process.
