Document Description
The proposed project modifies the approved expansion project (i.e., construction and operation of a new Costco gas station). The modified project entails demolition of an existing 17,125-sf retail building to add 1.18 acre to the project site, a new driveway to the west of the fuel facility, relocation of the eastern driveway, and construction of a 3,019-square-foot fuel canopy addition, installation of four multi-product dispensers, and associated site improvements.
This Addendum (Addendum No. 2) evaluates the potential environmental effects of the proposed modification to the 2018 IS/MND and 2023 Addendum No. 1. The 2018 IS/MND evaluated the Costco La Mesa Retail Fueling Facility Expansion Project, which allowed for the demolition of an existing 40,000-square-foot vacant retail building and the construction of a new Costco gas station at the existing Costco Warehouse facility. In 2023, Addendum No. 1 made some slight modifications to the approved plan from the 2018 IS/MND with the addition of approximately 19,333 square feet of expansion space to the existing Costco Warehouse and a reduction in the number of parking spaces from 764 parking stalls to 703 stalls.
This Addendum analyzes proposed modifications to allow for expansion of the existing fuel facility at the modified project site, to improve overall operations at the facility. The modified project would require the demolition of an existing 17, 125-square-foot former La-Z-Boy retail building, including associated clearing and grading, addition of a new driveway to the west of the fuel facility and relocation of the eastern driveway, construction of a 3,019-square-foot fuel canopy addition(increasing its size from 12,651 square feet to 15,670 square feet), the installation of four multi-product dispensers, and associated site improvements. The modified project would therefore include the addition of 1.18 acres to the project site (APN 464-600-21-00, the former La-Z-Boy site). This portion of the project site is also zoned CM-F-D, which allows for automotive service stations for the retail dispensing of fuel, motor oil, and automotive accessories.
