Special City Council Meeting – Whole Foods project approvals @ NEW LOCATION - COMMUNITY CENTER
Jul 10 @ 2:30 am – 6:00 am

This is a special meeting of the City Council to make the major approvals for the project, including the EIR. AS&R is awaits posting of the EIR for this meeting, as the last EIR presented by the city had language that seemed to indicate that environmental mitigations, such as bicycle connections to the community-wide bicycle network, might not be undertaken if deemed “infeasible”.
