The Planning Commission considered the item at a duly noticed public hearing on February 6, 2025, and voted 4-2 (one vacancy) to certify the Environmental Impact Report and approve the project. Two timely appeals of the Planning Commission's decision were filed by Mitchell M. Tsai Law Offices for Carpenters Local 713 and Advocates for the Environment.
