Safeway Grocery Store

Safeway Grocery Store

A Special Permit to reduce a streamside management area to as little as 5 ft in order to construct a new Safeway grocery store and appurtenant parking facilities. The developed portion of the site will be 5-50 ft from the streamside management area. Most developed will occur within the already developed portion of the site. A voluntary Notice of Merger and lot line adjustment is also proposed. The project area currently consists of 7 parcels encompassing ~6.22 acres. Safeway proposes to merge the property into 2 parcels and then lot line adjust the parcels to result in Parcel 1 (3.73 acres where the Safeway store will be developed) and Parcel 2 (2.49 acres of gilch area which will be used for stormwater detention and open space). The area is currently developed with medical offices, apartment buildings, a plant nursery and several single family homes, all of which are proposed to be demolished. The proposed store will be ~48,000 sf and ~ 35 ft in height. The store will be open 24 hours and is expected to have 85 to 95 employees. A new signal light is proposed at the intersection of Harris Street and Wolford Ave. A Conditional Use Permit is required to allow signage at the site to exceed 300 sf. Safeway proposes ~600 sf of halo lit signage on the building. Water and sewer facilities will be provided by Humboldt Community services District. Major grading is required and a retaining wall will be developed between the 2 resulting parcels and in front of the store.
