DOWNTOWN EL SOBRANTE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT (County File: GP#02-0003): The proposed General Plan Amendment would revise and update the Land Use Element and Transportation-Circulation Element of the Contra Costa County General Plan (2005-2020) affecting the unincorporated community of El Sobrante, California. Contra Costa County is proposing to: (1) amend the Land Use Element to establish new “mixed use” land use designations along the south side of San Pablo Dam Road, from El Portal Drive to Appian Way, and along Appian Way from Valley View to San Pablo Dam Road, and to revise and update the section in the Land Use Element under the heading “
Policies for El Sobrante Area”, to correspond with the proposed changes to the changes affecting San Pablo Dam Road and Appian Way; and, (2) to amend the Transportation-Circulation Element to remove all references to a planned six-lane bypass couplet for San Pablo Road between El Portal Drive and Appian Way and replace with a planned collector street connecting Pitt Way to Hillcrest Road and to remove all references to a planned four-lane roadway for Appian Way extending from San Pablo Dam Road to the Pinole city limits and retain the existing two-lane roadway configuration as the planned roadway.
On November 4, 2009, the Department of Conservation and Development released a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Downtown El Sobrante General Plan Amendment. There will be a forty-five (45) day review and comment period for the DEIR, beginning on November 4, 2009 and closing on December 18, 2009. Comments on the DEIR should be submitted before 5:00 p.m. on Friday, December 18, 2009 to:
