Autozone Project Moves Forward In Valley Springs
San Andreas, CA....In circumstances that were a bit complex the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors allowed the Autozone Project to move to the next phase with a 4-1 vote with Callaway voting against. There are existing approvals and entitlements on the 30 plus acre parcel that the property owner did not want to open back up to environmental and other reviews. The Autozone project adds an additional layer, in essence and is proposed to be built south of Senders on Hwy 26. Caltrans, MyValleySprings.com, were the voices of opposition with Supervisor Edson the most vocal and eloquent voice for approval. Caltrans objected on grounds that in approving the county would not be following proper planning procedures. Supervisor Edson countered with a suggestion that that this portion of Hwy 26 become a county maintained road and remove Caltrans from the equation...
There was some conjecture in the audience that one motivation from Caltrans might have been to get the entire project opened back up for review which would have given them another opportunity to collect additional fees as well.
It was another lively back and forth agenda item. Supervisor Edson was vocal and adamant on seeing the project as another opportunity to add jobs to his district. The mantra of declining population numbers and declining school enrollments was the impetus for the urgency.
Another motivation was to try and show the county as increasingly business friendly with timely action on projects.
The agenda item verbiage is below....
13. PLANNING. Noticed Public Hearing pursuant to County Code §17.98.070 et. seq. Discussion and possible action regarding file No. 2014-027, appeal of the Planning Commission decision to deny 2013-004 Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for AutoZone Development; Board action:
