Development Application Submitted For EDH 52 At Silva Valley

An application has been submitted to El Dorado County, and posted on the project status page on October 13, 2017  by RSC Engineering Inc on behalf of EDH 52 GP for a commercial center consisting of a total of 290,000 square feet in the Silva Valley Parkway and Tong Road area. The plan provides details for components involving a hotel, restaurant with drive thrus, a grocery store and a self storage facility. The applicants seek three new entitlements to the project, which include a rezone, tentative parcel map, and conditional use permit.

The project description from the application:

The owner is requesting approval to construct two (2) new commercial centers (collectively, the “Project”) in El Dorado County on APN 122-720-15. The property is located north of Highway 50 and Tong Road, east of Old Silva Valley Parkway, and is bisected by Silva Valley Parkway. The northern portion of the property is approximately 17.07 acres (North Site) and the southern portion is approximately 15.73 acres (South Site), net of the right of way for roads. There is a 7.69-acre area on the North Site for the right of way associated with the future extension of Country Club Drive. There is a 1.3 8-acre open space area west of Old Silva Valley Road that will not be developed.

The County is reviewing the owner’s request as a single application and project for local entitlement and California Environmental Quality Act purposes. However, the owner views the North Site and the South Site as two distinct projects, and each constitutes a separate “integrated development” pursuant to El Dorado County Code Section 130.16.120. Accordingly, the owner will seek separate wetlands permits from the Army Corps of Engineers for each. The maximum building area for the South Site will be approximately 110,000 square feet and may include the following uses: hotel, drive through uses, gas station with car wash, grocery, pharmacy, retail, food uses, outdoor patio, medical office, surgery center, office, technical school, outdoor storage and outdoor sales. The maximum building area for the North Site will be approximately 180,000 square feet and may include self-storage, grocery, and other commercial uses.

The Project requires a Planned Development application because the property is zoned PD-CR. A rezone is proposed to PD-CC to allow more uses primarily seen in a shopping center setting and to allow a self-storage use with the approval of a conditional use permit. In addition, a design review permit will be required for signage and a tentative parcel map is proposed to subdivide the parcels further for purposes of sale, lease or financing of the property.

The maximum building area for the South Site will be approximately 110,000 square feet and may include the following uses: hotel, drive through uses, gas station with car wash, grocery,  pharmacy, retail, food uses, outdoor patio, medical office, surgery center, office, technical school, outdoor storage and outdoor sales. The maximum building area for the North Site will be approximately 180,000 square feet and may include self-storage, grocery, and other community serving commercial uses.

Signage

The owner is also requesting certain deviations from Chapter 130.16 of the County Code for the proposed monument signs, including a reduction in the minimum separation between monument signs, an increase in the maximum number of signs allowed per street frontage, an increase in the maximum allowed area, and an increase in the maximum allowed height. The developer is proposing six (6) 28 foot tenant monument signs allowing advertising from either commercial center. Each monument sign will have one (1) featured tenant panel and six (6) shop tenant panels. The proposed area for each monument sign is 242 square feet. The monument signs -3- will have a stone veneer base, fabricated aluminum panels, and texcote finish to compliment the color scheme of the commercial centers. Tenant names and logos will be routed out with acrylic push-through graphics and vinyl film overlays. Tenant names will be internally illuminated with white LED lights. Colors will comply with tenant specifications.
Building signs will be a part of a separate sign permit and are not proposed at this time.

Site Access

It is anticipated that the Project site will have multiple points of access. A traffic signal is proposed at the main driveway and Silva Valley Parkway to provide access to both the South Site and the North Site. A right in and right out access driveway is proposed on Silva Valley Parkway north of the signalized driveway and at the old Tong Road location to provide access to the North Site. Two full access driveways are proposed on Old Silva Valley Road to provide additional points of access to the South Site.

On Site Improvements

The Project is designed to allow either the North Site or the South Site to develop independent from the other. Mass grading of each site to accommodate future development will occur in the first phase of development, including filling of the permitted wetlands and permitted tree removal. In the event the South Site develops first, utility crossings under Silva Valley Parkway will be  constructed as part of the South Site infrastructure work to serve the North Site. In the event the North Site develops first, interim facilities will be constructed on the North Site.

The second phase will include construction of the parking, landscaping, lighting, utility infrastructure, and driveways designed to support the buildings. Site improvements will be constructed in various phases depending on the extent of development occurring at any given time. Buildings can be started once site improvements are sufficiently completed to allow construction and emergency fire access.

Off Site Improvements

A proposed traffic signal and appurtenant facilities will be located on Silva Valley
Parkway at the center of the Project to provide a connection to both the South Site and the North
Site.
A right in and right out access driveway is proposed on Silva Valley Parkway north of the signalized driveway and at the old Tong Road location to provide access to the North Site. Two full access driveways are proposed on Old Silva Valley Road to provide additional points of access to the South Site. A reservation for 7 .65 acres of future right of way is proposed along the outer boundary of the North Site.

The project seeks to be annexed into the El Dorado Irrigation District for water and sewer service.

October 2017 EDH APAC Meeting Minutes Posted Online

The El Dorado Hills Area Planning Advisory Committee held its October 2017 meeting on Wednesday October 11th at the El Dorado Hills Community Services District Norm Rowett Pavilion. The minutes of the meeting have now been posted online HERE

Supervisor Communications

El Dorado County District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl offer comments about Transportation funding from California’s Senate Bill SB1 (Gas and Vehicle Registration Fee increases). Some of the funds that El Dorado Count will be receiving will be going to a project to complete a road surface overlay of El Dorado Hills Blvd (the most heavily traffic-ed road in unincorporated El Dorado County).  This project will take several years to complete – some of the phases include cleaning up and rough texturing the road surface, followed by pruning and maintaining foliage along the road. A new pavement overlay will follow with a new formula for the road surface, which is suspected to last longer than conventional overlays. The project is projected to be completed in 2021.

Supervisor Hidahl also spoke about a new effort underway to re-vision the El Dorado Hills Business Park, which has fallen short of build out expectations of when it was originally approved. After more than twenty years, it has not become the employment center it was envisioned to be, and remains half full. Several property owners in the EDH Business Park have started a study that would add new land use concepts, and amenities – including:

488 total acres of employment – research and development
186 acres undeveloped – which is a twenty year supply of space

  • 35 acres of parks
  • 140 acres of open space
  • 8.5 acres of mixed use commercial and residential – 255 dwelling units
  • 23 acres low density residential – 115 dwelling units
  • 72 acres medium density residential – 909 dwelling units
  • 17 acres high density residential – 401 dwelling units
  • 1680 total dwelling units

Supervisor Hidahl stressed that this a conceptual project, and will continue to evolve.
