Hear ye, hear ye! I stand before you today to bring you important news from the Planning Commission. A request for a one-year extension has been made for the Target One-Year Extension project, which includes the Extension of Minor Subdivision, Conditional Use Permit, and Coastal Development Permit. This project is located at 2525 4th Street and the property owner is Tab Johnson for Target.

The purpose of this extension is to allow for the completion of the drive-through restaurant and associated subdivision. The previous approvals for this project are set to expire in December 2023, and the applicant, Kristine Simmons, on behalf of Rich Development, is seeking an extension until December 22, 2024.

The proposed project involves the subdivision of the existing 11.58-acre “Target” parcel into two parcels. Parcel 1, which is 10.8 acres, will retain the existing Target Retail Store and required off-street parking. Parcel 2, which is 0.78 acres, will be developed with the drive-through restaurant, complete with parking, landscaping, a patio, and a two-lane drive-through.

The staff report states that the extension request was submitted within the required timeframe and provides valid reasons for the delay in completing the subdivision. The Planning Commission has determined that this project qualifies for exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act, as it meets the requirements for minor land divisions and infill development projects.

To move forward with this extension, a public hearing will be held and a resolution will be adopted to approve the extension with conditions. This resolution will allow for the extension of the tentative parcel map, conditional use permit, and coastal development permit until December 22, 2024.

I encourage all interested parties to attend the public hearing and voice their opinions on this matter. Your input is important in shaping the future development of our town. The contact person for this project is Lisa Savage, Senior Planner, and she can be reached at planning@eurekaca.gov or (707) 441-4160.

Let it be known that this extension request is currently under review and further action will be taken after the public hearing. Stay informed and engaged in the decision-making process of our community. Thank you for your attention, and may this information guide you in understanding the proposed Target One-Year Extension project.
