DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST
revised December 18, 2024 (partial)
Costco Wholesale (Costco) is pleased to submit this revised project description in connection with its revised planning application. The revised project includes a new Costco Member Warehouse, Fuel Facility, and associated site improvements (the “project”) on Silva Valley Parkway, just west north of US Route 50 (US 50) in El Dorado County. The Member Warehouse is proposed south of Silva Valley Parkway, and the Fuel Facility and Costco employee parking lot is proposed north of the Parkway. The remainder of the North Site would include an out parcel that is not planned for development at this time.
The property is located north of US 50 and Tong Road, east of Clarksville Crossing, and is bisected by Silva Valley Parkway. The northern portion of the property is approximately 24.83 acres (EDH 52 – North Site) and includes APNs: 122-720-0019, 20, and 21. All the parcels are undeveloped, and 122-720-21 (6.57 of 7.75 acres) is primarily reserved for the future extension of County Club Drive to Silva Valley Parkway, which is not part of the project.
The southern portion of the site is approximately 18.42 acres (EDH 52 – South Site) and includes APNs:122-720-018, 02, and 03. A portion of 122-720-003 and a portion of the unused former Tong Road right-of-way between Silva Valley Parkway and Clarksville Crossing are proposed to be utilized for site access. The 1.38-acre portion of 122-720-018 west of Clarksville Crossing on the South Site will not be developed as part of the project site, resulting in a net development site of 17.05 acres.
In addition to the revised planning application for the project, this revised application seeks to withdraw a series of applications associated with a prior AKT development proposal that is no longer part of the project. See below for a summary of entitlements requested. The project is within the Planned Development Overlay zone such that a Planned Development Permit is required. The Planned Development Permit will address the signage for the project. This project description is for purposes of evaluating the project’s environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
The maximum building area for the Member Warehouse on the South Site will be approximately 165,000 square feet and includes, without limitation, a Costco warehouse retail center, tire sales and installation, optical exams and optical sales, hearing aid testing and sales, food service preparation and sales, meat preparation and sales, bakery and sales of baked goods, and alcohol sales. Temporary outdoor sales may occur within the parking field adjacent to the warehouse for seasonal sales, such as Christmas trees from late November through December. The members only Fuel Facility on the North Site will include a maximum 13,000 square foot open canopy and a 200 square foot controller enclosure.
